More details have emerged about what will be one of York’s bigger beer gardens.
We reported last April about plans for the Guy Fawkes Inn on High Petergate to expand into the next door property, formerly home to Jackson-Stops estate agents.
It would create 15 new hotel rooms and an outdoor space in what was the Masonic Hall Yard.
The company that owns the Guy Fawkes Inn, Halifax-based Quietpresence Ltd, won permission for its plans. And now it has given more details about the new beer garden.
According to a licensing application, there will be 35 tables and 120 chairs in the outside area.
The beer garden would be open till midnight. Food would be served until 10pm, and it would only be used for smoking after 11pm.
“There will be no drinks promotion, unless they are in line with a food promotion,” the application adds.
Plans already revealed say the design would echo the infamous plot of Guy Fawkes to destroy Parliament.
The garden would be accessed from a new doorway created at the back of the Guy Fawkes Inn.
“The new garden will also benefit from ongoing connectivity with the adjacent South African Memorial Gardens, by way of the consented widening of an existing pedestrian gate,” the plans stated.
