A pub in York has reopened after around £200K was spent on giving it a makeover inside and out.

The Punch Bowl on Lowther Street is the last of its kind in the Groves – at one time, there were four pubs in the area.

New seating, soft furnishings and carpeting have upped the levels of comfort in the pub.

And sports fans will love the big HD TV screens showing Sky Sports and BT Sport.

The room at the back of the pub has been incorporated into the main bar area but can still be hired for private functions and meetings.

The pub is part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who were named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards. It is dog friendly too.

There’s a new face at the bar to welcome customers. Deborah Peacock, who has a wealth of experience in hospitality, said: “This is a wonderful pub and I am excited to be part of its next chapter.

“This latest refurb means it is even more inviting and people want to stay for longer. It’s all about making your visit here comfy and relaxing.

“This is a typical traditional local pub and it’s great meeting the regulars and new faces.” 

The Punch Bowl opens Sunday to Thursday 11am to 12 midnight, Fridays and Saturdays 11am to 12.30am.
