Thwaites director of pub operations Andrew Buchanan has revealed to M&C Report that the Blackburn-based brewer is on course to complete £4m-worth of investment in its estate by the end of the financial year.
Latest projects have seen the reopening of one of Blackpool’s most famous seafront pubs, the Highlands on Queens Promenade, under two new tenants. A £140,000 refurbishment was financed jointly with Thwaites.
The Walmsley Arms pub in Rishton, Lancashire, is also welcoming customers again following a joint investment of £107,000, to give the pub refreshed, modern interior.
Meanwhile, new tenants have moved into a Thwaites pub formerly run by Bullseye host Jim Bowen. Anne-Marie Gallamore and Eric Seddon aim to make the Royal Oak Hotel in Hornby, in the Lune Valley, a destination for diners.
