Bulwell pub temporarily closes to undergo major £350,000 refurbishment
Popular pub The Limekiln in Bulwell has temporilty closed its doors to allow for an exciting refurbishment before reopening as a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub.
This transformation represents a significant investment of over £355,400 by brewers Marston’s in the Sellars Wood Drive venue.
The project will see the pub transformed with new features designed to deliver a stadium-style experience on every visit.
The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, such as a new three-metre-long, 1.68-metre-tall screen, state-of-the-art sound systems, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action.
A refurbished outdoor area with TV screens will also be added and locals will be able to order through the all-new Marston’s ‘order & pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action.
The Limekiln will also be decorated with local sports memorabilia and is calling on the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.
Pub partners, Nicky and Dave, said: “We will have some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events, and we want as many local people to be featured on our walls as possible.
"We can’t wait to welcome all our regulars and some new faces in to see the new and improved Limekiln.”
Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more.
Regulation dart boards and pool tables will return, alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.
A new range of bar food has been introduced, perfect for half-time and for sharing.
The ‘match day menu’ will feature hand-held bites, such as chicken wings and nachos, sitting alongside pub favourites such as fish and chips and burgers.
The Limekiln has also refreshed its range of drinks, and all draught beer is available in two-pint cups.
Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘black card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless chips on team nights and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.
Marston’s has selected the Limekiln for the Grandstand transformation due to its involvement with local sports teams, community groups, and charities.
The pub is set to reopen on with its brand new look on March 18.
