Four men have been banned from drinking on Carlisle's Botchergate, after they admitted being involved in violence inside a pub.

A judge at the city's crown court was told chairs were thrown and a snooker cue brandished during a disturbance in the Cumberland Inn.

The violence broke out on March 18 last year.

Today four men each admitted a charge of affray.

They were Christopher Callum Lowe, 30, of Baird Road; Jonathan Wall, 40, of Stonegarth; and Gary Green, 52, of Mayson Street, all Carlisle; along with Aaron Larmour, 28, of Barrington Street, Manchester.

Judge Peter Davies adjourned the case until April 27, when the men will be sentenced at the crown court.

Until that date they were each remanded on bail with a condition not to go into any Botchergate bars.
