Barbridge Inn - any updates?

[Philip]

Just wondered if anyone knows anything behind the scenes about the future of the Barbridge pub? I saw it last week and it looked as though it was having work done to the inside - was all go with trucks and workmen on site.

They were told to move when the pub closed.

But did they? I know that the previous (?) owner told them to move a few times but they just came back 🙂 . Doesn't really matter now though as there is no reason to stop there 😞

Its a terrible spot anyway, too close to the A51, too noisy and there is The Stupid Ledge too.

No ledge on the mooring outside the pub. The road noise doesn't bother me. I just remove my hearing aids 😃

Here's a further update...

 

Am I reading correctly that they're looking at turning it into a bar?

Latest is that Punch Taverns have the pub and are applying for different trading hours.

 

The pub and bar operator wants to open the venue and provide late night refreshment 9am to 1am, (Sunday to Wednesday) and 9am to 2am, (Thursday to Saturday).

It wants to provide the sale of alcohol up until one hour before closing and the provision of live and recorded music until 11pm (Sunday to Wednesday) and 1pm (Thursday to Sunday).

I don't think that pub needs those long hours. It's in a small road with houses next door and opposite. I'm all for a pub trading but hang on a mo.
