The grand re-opening of a Wetherspoons pub will be arriving later than expected after the pub chain confirmed delays.
The Master Mariner in New Brighton was due to reopen later this month on Tuesday, August 30, though this has now been indefinitely delayed, a statement from JD Wetherspoon has confirmed. The pub was closed in March after JD Wetherspoon was given the go ahead to redevelop the building by Wirral Council.
Their proposal was to redevelop the pub alongside the building next door, the site of the former Lacy's Bar, in an overhaul believed to cost £3m. However, the former Lacy's Bar building has now presented a hurdle for the re-opening of the Wetherspoons due to its "poor state."
