The refurbishment will create an exciting sports-led destination, driving increased footfall, growing both food and drink sales, and enhancing the pub’s appeal while maintaining its strong connection to the local community.

With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere. Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. They don’t just show sport – they live it.
