The Oast House

Spinningfields

This unique pub, surrounded by a large terrace with cabanas, occupies a 16th-century oasthouse (where brewers roasted hops) that was brought here, brick by brick, from Kent. The emphasis here is on craft beers and ales, accompanied by playful food such as Northern poutine with Lancashire cheese.
