Marston’s to reopen 28 Shropshire pubs next month
Pub group Marston’s has confirmed that almost 70 per cent of its English pubs will reopen from April 12, which include 28 in Shropshire and surrounding area.
With the focus on alfresco hospitality, pubs that can accommodate customers in outdoor gardens will operate with an adapted offering in line with restrictions, the Wolverhampton-based group said.
They include the Red Lion in Madeley, Hop & Friar in Shrewsbury, The Wheatsheaf in Shifnal and New Inn in Bridgnorth.
To accompany table service, Marston’s has introduced an online ordering system called ‘Marston’s Tap’. The online platform is available across the majority of Marston’s pubs for guests to use and a full rollout is underway following its success last year.
Bookings are being accepted and guests can reserve a table via each pub’s website, but pubs will also be accepting walk-ins.
While pubs have been closed, where possible, Marston’s has invested in and adapted its outdoor spaces and pub gardens to enhance guest experience for the reopening.
Ralph Findlay, CEO of Marston’s, said: “We are delighted we can reopen many of our pubs, but we can’t wait until all our pubs can serve customers once again.
"The resilience of our pub managers and pub partners during this time has been admirable and we look forward to safely welcoming back guests and reuniting friends and family.”
