Local record

History of this pub

The Brecks on Wickersley Road (the A631) began as the Brecks Hotel, a Tennant Brewery house, before Whitbread took it over and turned it into a Beefeater in 1974, the year the chain was founded. It reopened in 2015 after a full makeover with new booth seating and a modern bar, and in later years had a Premier Inn alongside. CAMRA described a drinking area round the bar on one side and a diners' area on the other.
