| Pubs Re-opening in Burton |
As many of you will be aware a number of pubs in Burton are closed or being refurbished, some of the closed pubs may never re-open and some may open again but have lost their character. As for the refurbishments I hope they will be done in good style and sell a range of good beers. We can only wait and see what happens. One thing is for sure if you don't support your local you will loose it. So if a pub near you re-opens or has recently been refurbished I would urge you to go and check it out and give them your support. If you have details of pubs re-opening or being refurbished in your area please email us. Luke Lucas |
