'Exciting transformation' - South Shields pub under renovation is open for business
‘We're still very much open as usual.’
A popular South Tyneside pub is assuring customers that it is still trading while renovations are underway.
Scaffold has been erected around The Bamburgh on Bamburgh Avenue, famed for its television appearances at the end of the Great North Run.
However, the Greene King pub is serving drinks and meals as normal.
The pub has said: “You might notice a few changes happening at the Bamburgh as work gets underway on our exciting transformation.
“Don't worry though, we're still very much open as usual.
“Whether you're popping in for a drink, catching up with friends or joining us after a walk along the seafront, we'd love to see you before we temporarily close on Sunday 11 October.
“Please bear with us while we get everything ready. We can't wait to show you what's coming.”
The Gazette has so far been unable to contact Greene King to find out how long the Bamburgh will be closed after October 11.
