Lymestone, the Staffordshire-based brewer and pub operator, has taken on a former Pound Pub for its third outlet.

The site in St Edward Street, Leek, had formerly operated as the Quiet Woman, and has been closed for nine months.

Lymestone is set to undertake a significant refurbishment before opening at easter.

The company also operates the Lymestone Vaults in Newcastle-under-Lyme and The Borehole in Stone.

Owner Ian Bradford told the Stoke Sentinel: “The Quiet Woman will continue in the style of our other pubs, with real ale as the focus. There won’t be mainstream drinks available. Leek is already an extremely good place to go for beer. We are very excited to be expanding our business into the town. We are still a small family firm and this is the next stage in our development.”
