Post-refurbishment, the Flyer will offer a zoned layout that seamlessly blends dining, sport, and bar areas, creating a lively and versatile environment for guests. The interior will be modernised by opening up the space—removing barriers between the bar and dining zones, introducing new fixed seating, and refreshing the furniture to encourage longer visits and greater comfort. The games area will be curated, with the pool table retained and darts and AWPs relocated to optimise flow and maximise the social atmosphere. The bar walk will be redesigned to provide a clear, welcoming service point, making every arrival feel special. Outside, the trade space will be significantly enhanced with an enlarged front patio and a covered pergola, ensuring year-round appeal and additional capacity for events and gatherings. The garden areas will be revitalised with impactful decoration, signage, lighting, and planting, creating a standout kerb appeal and a wow-factor for guests. Sport viewing will be upgraded with strategically positioned TVs, supporting themed nights and community events without dominating the pub’s ambiance. The overall design will support live acts, social sport, and community-focused activities, making the Flyer a true hub for locals, sports teams, and group bookings.
