Thornbridge Brewery have teamed up with Pivovar to open 10 new Thornbridge and Co. pub sites nationwide over the next five years. Planning has now been approved to open a city centre pub in York, transforming a 1960s three storey build into an elegant, Georgian style traditional pub overlooking the city. 

The Thornbridge and Co. Pub, to be named The Market Porter, will  open in the heart of York city centre, taking over a 1960s corner building in Jubbergate. Work starts next week to transform the building into a traditional corner pub with an elegant and timeless new look, synonymous with the Thornbridge Brand. The Three storey building offers stunning views over the picturesque city and is due to open by the end of this year.

The site was a perfect find, reminding the team of a traditional London corner pub. One of the inspirations for the design of the exterior of the new venue was the London bar Mr Fogg’s Tavern. The doors on the ground floor will be timber-framed and glazed. Plants in troughs hanging above the doors and all aluminium doors removed and replaced with wooden frames.

Jamie Hawksworth, Owner and Director of Pivovar says:

 “From seeing the buildings exterior it isn’t an attractive build. But viewing the inside we found that on the first floor there is the view straight over the market stalls. You can see all over the tops of the canopies and it looks straight down towards the Shambles. The second floor offers you views across the rooftops that look straight across to the Rose Window of the Minster. 

It really is one of the best views over York!

Simon Webster, CEO of Thornbridge Brewery says:

“Bringing Thornbridge & Co. to York is something we’re very excited about. It’s a beautiful city with a wonderful craft beer community and we cant wait to be a part of it! It’s also a great opportunity to have the freedom to turn this 1960s build into a welcoming, attractive pub that we think will fit brilliantly within York. We think our beer will be a great addition to the local people and the tourists that come and go through the city.”

The pub will serve fantastic beer, great food and become an integral part of the thriving community in York. Thornbridge & Co. want to take this building and transform from what was considered one of the most unattractive buildings in York, to a visually beautiful and elegant place to show off York whilst enjoying great food and craft beer on all levels.

Moving into 2019 Thornbridge and Co. are also looking at sites in London, Manchester, Brighton and Leeds.
