Manvers Arms is set to reopen for the first time since late 2019 after receiving Heineken investment.
The Radcliffe on Trent pub, run by the Heineken-owned Star Pubs & Bars, is set to have a £422,000 refurbishment over summer and reopen this autumn.
The Manvers Arms is one of many pubs in the company’s portfolio set to receive similar improvements in the near future. The White Lion in Bingham will also receive a six-figure refurbishment in the coming months.
Lawson Mountstevens, Star Pubs’ managing director, said: “People are looking for maximum value from visits to their local. They want great surroundings and food and drink as well as activities that give them an extra reason to go out, such as sports screenings and entertainment.
“Creating fantastic locals that can accommodate a range of occasions meets this need and helps pubs fulfil their role as vital third spaces where communities can come together. Pubs have proved their enduring appeal; after all the disruption of recent years, Star is on track to have the lowest number of long-term closed pubs since 2019.
“It’s a tribute to the drive and entrepreneurship of licensees and the importance of continued investment. We’ve spent more than £200m maintaining and upgrading our pubs over the last five years, and we’ll continue to invest to keep them open and thriving. Time and again we see the value consumers place on having a good local and how important it is to communities. Well-invested pubs run by great licensees are here to stay, but like all locals, need Government support to reduce the enormous tax burden they shoulder.”
