Victoria pub reopens following £148k refurb

The Victoria pub in Chesterfield has recently reopened to the public having completed a renovation, following a £148,000 investment by the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company.

During the pub’s renovation, enhancements have been made to both the interior, exterior and garden, creating a modern and relaxing space. Inside still holds its well-known warm, welcoming atmosphere, but now sees new furnishings and fittings and a revamped bar, which is home to an extensive range of drinks, where guests can choose from beers and ciders, wines, spirits and cocktails.

Outside, the beer garden has also received a makeover just in time for the warmer weather with plenty of seating and table umbrellas.

Operator Lee McMahon said: “Myself and the team are so pleased with our new look Victoria, and are so happy to have our doors open again. I am so excited about this new chapter of the pub and am pleased to see how much it has transformed during the investment. The team and I hope you all love what has been done with the Victoria.”

McMahon has been with Craft Union for seven years and has previously operated successful pubs and has been in the industry for many years. 

McMahon said: “Making relationships with our guests and offering them a space where they can use it how they want to, is so important to us. We receive so much support, we love to be able to give back to those and ensure that everyone has some fun with us! 

“We cannot wait to welcome more of you and celebrate the future of our wonderful local pub.”
