Since opening, Yorkshire Square has expanded into food, partnering with Snap Tin Eatery to serve chef-driven British pub fare like Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, and fish & chips—all freshly made on-site

The warm, inviting taproom also features a stone hearth, darts, indoor and patio seating, and even iconic British cutouts, fostering a friendly, communal atmosphere .
