BRIDGE INN IS IN ITS 90TH YEAR
SANDIACRE pub The Bridge Inn has closed for a £317,000 upgrade before reopening in time for its 90th anniversary celebrations in June.
The investment by Heineken-owned Star Pubs aims to create a quality family and dog-friendly local with the largest beer garden in the area.
Work began this week at the pub in Longmoor Lane.
The interior will be redecorated from top-to-toe with new furniture, soft furnishings, feature wallpaper, carpets and lighting to make it brighter, welcoming and more comfortable.
Seating is being increased to 106, with customers able to choose to sit at high tables and chairs or at lower booth-style seating. The games area will have a new pool table, halo darts board, Heineken neon signage, and two HD TVs showing live Sky and TNT sports.
Outside will also be getting a makeover, repainted in heritage colours with new signage and lighting and space for 140 people. The drinks selection will have something for every time of day, from coffee and soft drinks to craft beer, cask ale and cocktails.
