    Howling Hops Brewery

    We spent the last few years brewing well over 100 different beers in the basement of the cock tavern on Mare Street. However trying to keep up with demand in the tiny underground brew cave was never going to last. The new brewery offers around 20 times more brewing capacity, space to bottle and a licensed tank bar so the beer can be enjoyed at source. The new brewery and tank bar is a couple of miles to the east of the Cock Tavern in an old brick warehouse in Hackney Wick.

    Friends of Ham – Leeds

    Friends of Ham opened on New Station Street in July 2012 with the aim of bringing high quality food and drink to Leeds in a relaxed, friendly and informal setting.   Starting out as a tiny ground floor bar with a large “hidden” basement we expanded 2 years later into the unit next door and continue to serve great beer, wine charcuterie and cheese to the good people of Leeds.    We operate a first come first serve basis and do not take bookings.   Our basement is available for group and corporate bookings during the daytime, monday to friday, so please get in touch with your requirements.
