The Grapes at Goosnargh is reopening following a £71,000 investment from leading community pub company Admiral Taverns which has seen the pub undergo a transformational refurbishment.
The historic pub first opened in the 18th century as a coaching inn in the village of Goosnargh. The re-opening on the 27th June will allow customers and locals to get a first glimpse of the pub’s refreshed interior and exterior, including the pub’s stunning beer terrace which has been transformed just in time for summer! On the pub’s VIP night, guests will be greeted with a free drink on arrival and will have a chance to sample a range of traditional dishes which will be featured on the new menu including Thai salads, delicious handmade pork pies, traditional fish and chips and the pub’s signature range of mini burgers including a tempting vegetarian haloumi burger. The pub will also have a bespoke range of specialty cask ales and spirits available to try on the night.
The Grapes at Goosnargh was one of the very first investments by Inglenook Inns & Taverns who now operate 50 pubs, predominantly in the North of England. The pub has a stellar reputation for top-quality food which is locally sourced and cooked from fresh. Must-try local meats include poultry from Johnson & Swarbrick in Goosnargh and Anderton’s finest steak. They also offer an ever-changing ‘specials menu’ to entice their customers.
To freshen up this historic pub, understated colours and rich textiles have been brought in to complement the rustic elegance with traditional flagged floors, rustic beams, and a roaring fire, perfect for getting cosy during the winter with a pint. The new look is elegant but welcoming to all who pass through, whether tourists or beloved regulars.
Commentating on the reopening, James Waddington, Managing Director of Inglenook Inns & Taverns said: “The Grapes at Goosnargh is a well-loved pub at the heart of the village community. We’re so pleased with the transformation and that we have retained its traditional and local feel. The refurbishment has been a fantastic opportunity to give the interior and exterior a refresh and we are particularly delighted with the pub’s stunning beer terrace which will be the ideal spot for alfresco drinking and dining this Summer. We are really looking forward to the opening night and a chance to show off this lovely pub at its very best.”
Commentating, Sally Sheil, Business Development Manager for Lancashire said: “We have been delighted to support Inglenook Inns & Taverns with this investment. They are extremely experienced multi-site operators in the industry and have shown impressive drive and ambition in revamping this unique pub.
“The Grapes at Goosnargh looks fantastic and I’m really excited to support the team on the launch night!”
