'The refurbishment is stunning'
It's the moment fans of Nottingham's historic Peacock pub have been waiting for - a glimpse of the new look after a £247,000 makeover. The good news is the layout of the pub dating back to 1850 has stayed the same - a main bar and a lounge, and many of the original features such as the peacock motif etched windows, wooden flooring and patterned tiles around the bar are still there.
The decor has been given a more stylish sumptuous look and feel, whilst staying true to its Victorian roots. Seating has been reupholstered in brown and deep red faux leather and new high tables and stools have been added in the bar. New light fittings and TVs have been installed and the toilets have been refurbished too. Outside, meanwhile, has been given a smarter looks with a panel highlighting the pub’s historic connection with DH Lawrence, new lighting and burgundy and gold signage.
New licensee, Ben Bronson, has moved from Blackpool to take on The Peacock, with help from his partner Phil Gornall. He had previously opened a big entertainment pub in the town and has spent many years working in the food and drink industry. Ben, who is looking forward to meeting his new neighbours and hopes to add to a Mansfield Road drinking circuit, added that he plans to host quizzes and have live music.
