"Makeovers can be hard to get right, especially when you're working with old buildings, and even more so when it's a cherished community spot. You want to make sure the original character of the property remains, but that it's brought into the modern age when it comes to things like decorations and double-glazed windows. That's the sort of balance that developers are looking to strike at St John's Tavern in Archway, which is set to reopen this week."
"Things have been moving pretty quickly for St John's Tavern. It was purchased by Urban Pubs and Bars, a local company who owns more than 60 boozers in London, back in September. Then, it was then closed on October 6 to allow for a series of renovations to take place, and now we've got a date for reopening: Friday October 31."
St John's Tavern in Archway will reopen on Friday October 31 following a closure for renovations after its September purchase by Urban Pubs and Bars. The company invested £1 million to update the Victorian building while retaining its character, introducing new interiors and double-glazed windows. The relaunch centers on a new menu emphasizing local produce, featuring starters like oysters with horseradish and scallops with leek cream and bacon, mains including British steaks, burgers and locally farmed pork, and Sunday roasts. The drinks list will include craft beers, signature cocktails, wines and spirits and a focus on a vibrant community feel.
