Bring along your Pokemon cards, Warhammer armies, D&D character sheets, and Yu-Gi-Oh! decks. Come by for a refreshing drink, delicious food, and pleasant company! You can place your meal and drink orders at the bar, then go to the function room for a night of gaming. Please note, due to the time, Warhammer battles will be limited to 1000 point armies - which would be great for both newbies and casual players alike! The Lock Keeper pub is conveniently located in the middle of town, opposite the Radcliffe Library; it is a 9 minute walk from Radcliffe Tram stop (Church St. West exit). For those of you driving, it is a 10 minute drive from junction 17 on the M60. As an added bonus, the pub has a large car park which won't cost you a penny.
