From failing to booming with a bright new look.

This “off campus” university owned failing pub was transformed by CIC into a vibrant university pub that appeals to both the student population and locals.

 

The refurbishment encompassed a new bar including bar tops, decoration, flooring, electrical works, a new trade kitchen, structural works to the toilets and the formation of 4 meetings rooms on the first floor.  The pub is now trading so well, we have returned and installed a pergola to create an all year round space.

Timescale: 8 weeks

Value: £225k

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL.

Royal Holloway Students’ Union purchased a local pub adjacent to their campus, and engaged Creative Interior Contracts Ltd to deliver a refurbishment of the property. RHSU partnered with CIC to work on a design and build project to deliver a modern community pub, which balanced the needs of all major stakeholders in the community. The resulting pub offers an exceptional quality environment, with attractive spaces both internal and external, as well as a number of high quality private meeting/social spaces on the first floor
