Growing North East hospitality group Blackrose Pubs has announced plans to carry out six refurbishments across its estate, after completing investments worth £1.5m so far this year.
The Gosforth-based business, which has 40 sites across the UK, has so far finished makeovers at five of its pubs in the North East and Yorkshire.
The work comes after Blackrose added a popular Newcastle venue to its portfolio, acquiring The Lochside in Benton as part of its strategy to invest in community pubs, refurbishing them to a high standard to breathe new life into local areas. The deal marks the start of a strategic acquisition programme at Blackrose.
