The new play area was open in time for the busy summer period and, so far, everyone seems very excited by it.
Norman Taylor, who led the project for the pub, said: “Playforce was fantastic. Their commitment to making sure we got what we needed, even when we were going back and forth with ideas, was impressive. Nothing was too much difficulty. Although this scheme was done as part of a larger refurbishment we’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in overall income through this pub. In fact, the complete refurbishment programme has generated around three times the previous summer income. Whilst we can’t say what proportion of this is down to the improved play area, it’s certainly made a big difference”.
