A COVENTRY pub has reopened after a six figure makeover which transformed the site into a Craft Union venue creating 10 new jobs.
The Castle Grounds pub had a £109,000 refurbishment which included new branding, decoration and interior decorations.
The pub introduced new draught products behind the bar as well as a weekly Monday night quiz, darts league on Tuesday, student night on Wednesday and open mic night on Thursdays.
Simon Mitchell has been hired as the new operator of the pub, he said: “I have been looking for an opportunity in Coventry for the past nine months and as soon as I saw Castle Grounds, I knew it was the perfect venue to take on.
“My partner and I are experienced in running pubs that have a focus on live sports, entertainment and a strong late-night offering and can’t wait to implement this at the Castle Grounds and make it a must-visit venue in Coventry.
“Craft Union pubs are all about community and we can’t wait to get to know our locals and start up some charity events and fundraisers for our community to get involved with.”
