A new pub has opened in Friargate with a swanky new interior and exterior.

The Northern Way has seen a wholesale revamp on the site of Shenanigans and O’Neill’s.

Opening night on Saturday saw the place busy with a good cask range on as well as an extensive gin menu.

Blog Preston correspondent Louise Gooch was there to see how it rated, and she seemed to be raising a glass to it.
