Plans for the pairing include transforming the pub into a fish and chip venue. It will offer a take away service as well as dine-in with the batter made with the brewery’s Harvest Pale Ale. Customers taking away will be able to buy a four-pint canister of the ale.
"It’s quite a bold decision to call time on the current bar menu and move solely towards fish and chips," said managing director Chris Bulaitis. "However, after speaking to regulars and friends, it became clear that the city’s lacking a decent place to get good old-fashioned fish and chips.
"Of course, we wanted to put our own unique spin on it, which is why we approached Castle Rock. Customers will get a traditional fish and chip experience with us, with food served in boxes, with wooden cutlery.
"We’re also offering locally sourced sausages and pies, scampi, fishcakes, and of course, mushy peas. However, the emphasis is very much on quality. This is fish and chips taken to a whole new level. And of course, with us being a proper pub, it can be all washed down with a pint of real ale."
