£200,000 refurb plan for British Oak at Calder Grove
A pub company plans a £200,000 plus refurbishment of the British Oak at Calder Grove in Wakefield.
The pub on Denby Dale Road has stood empty since it was closed earlier this year.
Star Pubs is seeing new tenants and say a £215,000 refurbishment is planned to transform the British Oak into a "premium local with a striking internal and external upgrade."
The Star Pubs website states: "Currently, the pub attracts a loyal but more mature demographic and relies heavily on weekend trade.
"The refurbishment will reposition it to appeal to a broader and more diverse customer base, with a focus on families and casual diners, unlocking greater daytime and midweek opportunities."
Star Pubs say the British Oak will "operate as a premium local, offering pub classics done well from a good-sized catering kitchen."
The Star Pubs website adds "Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process."
One Calder Grove resident said: "We really miss it. It was a real hub of the community."
