An independent brewery and hospitality operator has agreed the sale of three of its pubs.
True North Brew Co has given up The British Oak in Mosborough and The Old Grindstone in Crookes, both in Sheffield, along with The Milton Arms in Elsecar, Barnsley.
The company said it wanted to “strengthen and stabilise” its business due to a “challenging period” for the industry.
Owner Kane Yeardley, said: “This has not been an easy decision, but it is a necessary step to secure the long-term future of our company. We are committed to supporting our teams through this transition and ensuring our remaining venues continue to thrive.”
The company, which acquired the Abbeydale Picture House in Sheffield in 2025 to transform it into a “premier entertainment venue”, said the three pubs had been “an important part of the company’s estate”.
It said it had relinquished them to secure new ownership that would continue to operate them as pubs, “preserving their character and role” within their local communities.
