The Lockside, in Victoria Square, Worksop, has received a significant investment as part of the Craft Union Pub Company’s commitment to put quality pubs back in the heart of communities.

The Lockside will now be a community local pub during the week before transforming back to pub-chain Yates on the weekends, managed by Craft Union operator Mark Reed.
