Hall & Woodhouse to splash the cash on pub refurbs

Hall & Woodhouse, the Dorset brewer and pub operator, is to spend £3m refurbishing 20 pubs this calendar year.

A spokeswoman said each refurbishment will reflect the requirements of the individual outlet. A total of £700,000 has been spent to date on seven pubs including the Harbour Inn, Axmouth and Barley Mow, Wimborne.

It comes as Hall & Woodhouse announces that it is freezing the wholesale prices of its draught cask ale to its tenants for the fifth consecutive year.

Matt Kearsey, Hall & Woodhouse business partnerships director, said: “We are continuing our firm commitment to both cask ale and our business partners with these announcements. Not only are we ensuring that the feel-good factor of the budget continues, we’re also investing in the future of Hall & Woodhouse pubs.”
