Hopes pub makeover will attract ‘customers old and new’ REVAMP FOR HISTORIC HOSTELRY
AN historic pub in the heart of Caernarfon has been transformed in a revamp by the new brewery owner.
Robinsons Brewery snapped up the Four Alls on Hole in the Wall Street in November last year.
The company closed the pub for two months after the summer for a makeover of the site.
The intensive refurbishment has now transformed it from a “dilapidated pub” to one with character and charm.
William Robinson, managing director (pubs division) for Robinsons Brewery, said: “We are pleased to have had the opportunity to acquire this historic pub in Caernarfon.
“The Four Alls is an excellent fit for Robinsons and the purchase reinforces our presence in North Wales.
“We remain dedicated to our tenanted pub estate, supporting and developing our tenants’ businesses, and we will continue to look for further pub acquisitions.
“The Four Alls sits in an ideal location and, with this significant investment, we can see it performing very well.”
The building appears to be Georgian but is believed to be much older.
Original stone walls have been exposed and restored to enhance the traditional Welsh heritage feel, together with the installation of solid oak floorboards and flagged floors.
The pub’s new colour scheme combines red leather detail, red high-gloss panelling, tiled key elevations and oakclad ceilings, all softened by antique Persian rugs, traditional printed floral fabrics, rustic tables and chairs.
Many areas of the pub have been broken up into cosy pockets, which provide separate snug rooms for customers to relax.
Trevor Strickley, business development manager for Robinsons Brewery, said: “We have transformed the once tired pub into an up-to-date community hub, that is in keeping with its rich history.
“The pub now boasts a gleaming new look and radiates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that will attract customers both old and new.” Pics: ROBINSONS BREWERY
