Heineken UK is to invest £42m into upgrading 660 of its pubs around the country this year as well as creating more than 700 jobs.
A total of 137 pubs will have a makeover costing over £125,000 each, bringing the company's investment in refurbishing its Star Pubs & Bars’ estate to £115m since Covid hit and to £300m since 2014.
Heineken UK said the revamps will "reflect two long-term trends that have been accelerated and amplified by the pandemic – pubgoers’ increasing demand for quality and for outdoor socialising".
