Brew York buys The Mitre pub at Knaresborough

Brew York has acquired The Mitre in Knaresborough.

It is one of three venues taken over by the independent brewery via an agreement with Market Town Taverns.

Brew York, which was founded in 2016 on Walmgate in York by Wayne Smith and Lee Grabham, has also acquired the Horse & Farrier in Otley and Coopers Bar and Brasserie in Guiseley.

The Mitre opened in 1923 but its future had been uncertain since it closed last year.

The pub, which is next to Knaresborough's grade two listed train station, has a large central bar, function room, outdoor seating area and rooms to let.

According to a statement issued today, the plan is to take over all three venues this month with no significant changes,

Brew York beers will become the bar offer - across traditional hand-pull cask and keg, including lager - and the street food offer that has been a formula across existing Brew York venues will be introduced.

The Mitre



All Brew York beers are brewed in York either at the original brewery on Walmgate or at the main production facility in Osbaldwick, so the three venues will be a showcase of Yorkshire beer.

Towards the end of 2023 Brew York recruited John Hoe as bar operations director to lead an expansion programme.

As part of this, the existing four Brew York bars in York (Walmgate and Osbaldwick), Pocklington, and Leeds city centre have had their opening times extended.

Brew York managing director Wayne Smith said:

“We’ve now developed four solid Brew York venues that all offer a dynamic craft beer experience and we’ve realised a key opportunity to further strengthen and grow the business in this area."


Business finance group Fresh Thinking Advisory advised on the deal.
