New images have shown how an iconic Carlton pub may look after a proposed refurb.
The Inn for a Penny is set to be refurbished by owners Greene King and brought under their new Hive Pubs umbrella.
The brewery say Hive pubs are operated by franchisees who have local knowledge and experience of running a pub, bringing their individual know-how to the Hive pub to deliver the best customer experience.
In a statement released on their website, Greene King said: “The Inn for a Penny at Carlton is soon to be fully refurbished and brought under the Hive Pubs umbrella.
“Hive Pubs operate at the heart of the local community and offer an excellent drinks range, classic pub food, and a stunning garden, with sports and entertainment at the heart of the offer.
“The full refurbishment will improve the kerb appeal of the pub with all new signage, lighting and planting. Inside, we will zone the pub efficiently, so there is space for pub sports, socialising, dining and a live acts area.
“TV screens will be strategically placed, to ensure the best viewing experience without dominating.
“The pub will be fully redecorated, with new lighting, flooring and bric a brac. The garden will feature a covered pergola, with lose and fixed seating, as well as a children’s play area.”
Local lad Jamie Huckerby became the new landlord of Inn for A Penny earlier this year as reported by Gedling Eye in January (4).
In January, Jamie told Gedling Eye that he had big plans ahead for it’s future – with a focus on food and live sports.
Mr Huckerby said at the time: “I’m looking forward to seeing all the locals and new customers in the Penny from Friday supporting their ‘local pub'”.
Regular ‘Penny’ drinkers are delighted that Jamie is hoping to stay on as landlord if successful in his application.
One regular said: “Jamie is from around here – he knows the area, the regulars and runs a good pub. The pub feels like a ”local’ – and being a massive Forest fan he likes his sport and fits in well.”
