[Some of the pubs earmarked
to reopen this year The Cherry Tree in Witham, Essex The Crown & Anchor, Aveley, Essex The Wildmoor Oak at Wildmoor near Bromsgrove The Black Bull in Ecclesfield, Sheffield The Hesketh Tavern in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport The Junction in Wombwell, South Yorkshire The Manvers Arms in Radcliffe on Trent, Nottinghamshire The Punch Bowl in West Hallam, Derbyshire The Rose of Denmark, Bristol Roxy’s Steak & Tap in Twickenham, southwest London The Talbot in Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire The Winterton Arms in Chiddingfold, Surrey] https://news.sky.com/story/heineken-...-list-13130473 [Heineken is investing £39m in more than 600 of its pubs in the UK - in a move it says will bring 62 back from the dead. The Dutch brewer said the cash injection into its Star Pubs operation will create more than 1,000 jobs. According to Star Pubs, 612 pubs are set to benefit, with refurbishments focusing on "transforming tired pubs in suburban areas into premium locals" as people commute less to city centres. This will include "subtle zoning" work to cater for various customer activities, such as watching sport and dining. Two pubs in Essex have already reopened after works costing £424,000 together, with another in Bromsgrove, near Birmingham, set to relaunch later this month.] |

pubs have been closing at the rate of 500 a year since the pandemic, so 62 pubs is nothing

[Heineken is set to reopen 62 'lost' pubs across Britain after they were shut amid the cost-of-living crisis. The lager giant's retail arm, Star Pubs & Bars, is planning to reopen or upgrade more than 600 pubs across the UK in a £39million expansion in a bid to attract punters working from home. The move will include reopening more than 60 pubs in 2024, with 94 other sites set for refurbishments and the rest set to receive other varying upgrades.] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...expansion.html |

…there has to be a certain irony in Brexiting in the hope of ‘making Britain Great again’….and a European company ‘saving our great pubs’….anyways, good luck to this re-opening……I hope they thrive and survive …strangely I watched a movie only a few days ago about the kidnapping of Freddy Heineken…a story that I hadn’t known…
