A brand new Wetherspoons is coming to White Rose Shopping Centre next week.
£950,000 has been spent on a reburnishing a space for the new bar and eatery in Dewsbury Road, previously occupied by Mexican restaurant Chiquito's. Now, it will be occupied by new pub The Scribbling Mill.
It is named in recognition of the textile industry formerly associated with the area. The pub has a ground floor area with seating, as well as its own beer garden.

The grade II listed building built in 1790, was the country's first steam-powered mill. It was a scribbling mill, where wool was combed and prepared for spinning. What's more, there is a suspended feature ceiling with rafts and roses, warm panelling details and a glazed tile back bar. There is also wheelchair accessibility and an adapted toilet.
Steven Foster, centre director at White Rose Shopping Centre said: "We are delighted to announce the opening of The Scribbling Mill pub at White Rose. Joining the centre’s ever-growing line-up of retail, restaurants and leisure, and introducing 50 new jobs to the local community, we are certain that its range of popular food and drink offerings will be a big hit with our customers."
Pub manager Laura Haith said: "Myself and my team are looking forward to welcoming customers into The Scribbling Mill and we are confident that the pub will be a great addition to the local community and social scene."
