Work is set to start on a £390,000 refurbishment of a prominent Radcliffe-on-Trent pub that will restore it to its former glory and reopen it after more than four years of closure. The project at The Manvers Arms is being undertaken by Heineken-owned Star Pubs and will see lifelong Radcliffe resident Shirleyann Mould take the helm as the new licensee. The overhaul will transform the pub into a top quality family-friendly local serving food and specialising in entertainment and sports.
Work on The Manvers Arms begins on August 5. The pub is scheduled to reopen in mid-September creating 25 new jobs. Dating back to the early 1800s, the Grade II listed pub has a distinctive gothic look.
The investment will renovate the exterior, repaint the entire building and add new lighting and signage at the front. The large garden – which has views of the church – will be sensitively landscaped and have new furniture seating 60 people along with plenty of space for children to play.
