The refurbished trade area will feel significantly more modern and welcoming. The bar remains the central focal point, with improved zoning designed to enhance the flow of the pub and create a much better sport‑viewing experience. One side of the pub will continue to house the sports area, but with updated TV positioning and the introduction of darts alongside the retained pool table to create a livelier, more social environment. The dining space will become brighter and more comfortable, benefitting from clearer separation from the high‑energy sports side. A lower‑level dining area will be created specifically to ensure older customers have a calm, relaxed space. Large windows overlooking the garden will continue to give the restaurant side an open, spacious feel. First impressions at the entrance will be transformed by removing the outdated smoking shelter and refreshing the décor, signage and lighting throughout. Improved zoning will allow better navigation through the pub, with a more coherent link between the bar, dining and sports areas.
The outdoor trade space will be a standout feature. The front patio will be enlarged, the rear pergola enhanced, and the overall garden space uplifted with planting and high‑impact design to support Hive’s “Always Outside” ethos. The upgraded garden and patio areas will support strong year‑round trading and give the pub a visually impressive exterior presence.

‘Having worked across both pub operations and brewing roles in the beer and pub industry, I pride myself on my wide range of insight and experience that I can use to support my franchise business partners. I believe the key to running a great pub business in partnership with my franchisees is collaboration. Working together to be resourceful, but also challenge one another to really make a pub experience the very best it can be. For me, a great pub with a fantastic atmosphere cannot be beaten and that is what I love about working in this industry.’
