"A new chapter begins,” the pub has posted.

"Yates Halifax will be moving over to Craft Union and, after 17 wonderful years of service, we are delighted to announce that Martin will be taking over the pub as the operator!

"There’s plenty to look forward to with celebrations, great times, familiar faces and many more Saturday nights at Yates Halifax.

"We can’t wait to show you what’s in store. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and we look forward to making many more memories together!

"Same great team, a fresh new look and plenty more reasons to visit and celebrate.”
