It's been more than a decade since Yates's Wine Lodge was converted from a bank but punters are still flocking there in search of savings opportunities, according to duty manager Stuart Brown.

Customers can pick up a pint of John Smith's for £1.99, Foster's for £2.20 or choose from a range of meals priced at just £6.95 for two.

If that's not enough there's also the chance to pocket a cool £500 in the pub's karaoke competition currently taking place every Thursday night.

The resident DJ is picking the best act every week, with all the winners going on to compete for the jackpot early next year.

Yates's is also taking bookings for Christmas dinners, with two courses available for £7.95-a-head and three for £8.95, including £1 cashback to spend on drinks.
