Work is expected to restart on a major JD Wetherspoons pub redevelopment after its initial opening date was pushed back.
The Master Mariner in New Brighton has been the subject of a £3 million revamp which includes expanding into the adjoining Lacy’s Bar. The pub originally opened in 2013 on the site of the former RJs and the Playas Lounge nightclubs.
The seaside bar and restaurant closed in March 2022 when works began on the transformation. A completion date and reopening was set for August of the same year but the pub chain announced that its doors would remain closed while works continued, with no date given when people could return.
