Renovations Diary: 8th November, 2019
Inside the pub we are continuing with the finishing touches. The building team are finishing off the banquettes in the front alcoves. The first of the Swan themed cushions have arose. And we even have new pictures appearing in the bar.
Painting continued with the soffits, fascias and guttering. A lot has been done but there is a lot more to do. Also we are awating more guttering to come so it will be a while before we are finished painting.
Outside the pub, we had to do a little bit of remedial work on the front wall. It now has some support and will be addressed with a permanent solution soon.
The Green Room School has started to tidy up the outer stables. This has started with the doors and the walls. This will be repainted. The stables will also be emptied and will be used for the Christmas Fayre.
