A GROWING brewery chain is to take on another pub.

Ossett Brewery has joined forces with Punch Taverns to revamp The Flowerpot in Calder Road, Lower Hopton, Mirfield.

The Flowerpot will become a traditional real ale pub after a £360,000 joint investment.

It is the first time that Ossett Brewery, which has 18 pubs, has entered into a partnership with tenanted pub group Punch.

Ossett Brewery’s joint managing director Jamie Lawson said: “Punch Taverns has become a forward-looking company that has re-shaped the way it works with smaller companies like ours.

“The deal on The Flowerpot is one that Punch would not have done five years ago. We’re already looking at a couple more Punch sites.”
