The Golf Inn on course for refurb from new owners
Landmark St Andrews pub The Golf Inn is to be given a fresh makeover after changing hands.
Entrepreneurial couple Brett Lawrence and Gillian Mclaren, who also run Rocca Deli in the town’s Bell Street, have acquired the inn on the corner of Golf Place.
Located close to The Old Course and the West Sands, the inn incorporates a bar, 50 cover brasserie, roof terrace and six upstairs bedrooms.
The new owners intend to exploit St Andrews’ lucrative short break market by refreshing the interior decor and “effectively relaunching” the accommodation, as well as overhauling the pub menu and adding themed nights.
The business benefitted from a £75,000 makeover in 2015.
Mclaren said: “We know the business from when it was just a pub, albeit a very well situated one. The potential was always there for this business to be so much more, and this still has not been fully exploited.”
