The Three Swords Horsforth: First look inside Kirkstall Brewery's new Leeds pub with Dastaan and Northern Bloc
The Three Swords in Horsforth will be the brewery’s fourth venue in the city. It’s a collaboration with Adel restaurant Dastaan, which will serve Indian small plates and tapas-style street food from the pub’s kitchen.
Kirkstall Brewery has also partnered with Leeds-based business Northern Bloc to create a ‘world-first’ mango lassi soft-serve ice cream for its new pub. The New Road Side pub will officially open to the public on Friday.
We take a look inside.
