This proudly independent, award-winning gastro pub, nestled in the idyllic Derbyshire village of Barlow, has recently undergone a major refurbishment, thoughtfully designed to rejuvenate the already well-loved and beautiful space.
The main aim of the project was to create a restaurant area that feels even cosier and more inviting, while also introducing a subtle sense of fine dining — a balance that has been carefully achieved throughout. The restaurant has been fully refurbished, featuring a combination of new fixed and loose seating, with a particularly eye-catching section of fixed seating now forming the centrepiece of the room.
Fresh joinery and newly installed cabinets provide elegant spaces to display bric-à-brac, adding further character to the interiors. Above, striking floral décor stretches along the conservatory roof, creating a stunning visual feature and offering the perfect place to dine during both the warmer and cooler months. The addition of new marble tables and stylish seating has further elevated the overall look, adding the perfect finishing touches.
The bar area has also been subtly repositioned and reimagined, with minor adjustments that have opened up the space to allow for additional bar seating. New stools and a high bar table now invite guests to relax and enjoy a drink directly beside the bar, which was not possible before.
We love working with old friends – having originally designed this venue in 2014, it was a real pleasure to be part of its refurbishment once again.
