Crowd of Favours to reopen in Leeds city centre following £100k revamp

Crowd of Favours, located in Leeds city centre, is set to reopen on Friday 20th January following a two-week, £100k refurbishment.

The investment into the Harper Street-based venue, which is part of the Leeds Brewery pub group, was made by new owners Camerons Brewery.

This project is the first refurbishment the North East-based brewers have completed since purchasing the venue since purchasing the chain of pubs from Leeds Brewery in July 2016.

The Crowd offers a selection of rotating cask and craft keg beers, a range of spirits, a wine list along with a locally sourced menu.

The refurbishment sees a new exterior, including signage inspired by the industrial heritage of the area, fully renovated interior, contemporary furniture and a newly finished bar area.

The basement will be transformed into a live entertainment venue, featuring weekly live music events, cinema showings, monthly stand up comedians and more. There will be sofas, old fashioned brickwork and cabaret seating surrounding the event space.

On the bar will be a wide selection of beers ranging from the Leeds Brewery cask and keg range as well a choice of American and British craft beers.

Additional beer lines have been added, meaning consumers will be able to choose from five rotating keg and four rotating cask beers offering a varied choice on the bar.

Chris Soley, chief executive of Camerons said: “We have expanded our pub estate at a fantastic pace over the last 3 years as part of our long term strategy to grow retail estate. We were delighted to purchase the Leeds Brewery pubs into our managed group last year.

“As well as investing in new venues it is also vital for us to look at refurbishment schemes for existing pubs within our group. We identified the need to develop the look and offering at the Crowd of Favours and we are sure the improvements being made will make this a very exciting venue for customers to visit in an area of Leeds which is also seeing new investment”.

The venue will be launching a new food menu offering up pub classics, burgers, hot dogs, and sharing options. All ingredients are locally sourced and all meals are freshly prepared to order.

Crowd of Favours will reopen to the public from 5pm on Friday 20th January.
