Kitchen Work
After a record breaking year last year here at the Black Jug, it has been established that there areas we of the pub we can spruce up and give some TLC.
Back of house, there are also areas we can improve to ensure we can grow and build on the success of previous years. Most noticeably, our kitchen has seemingly reached it's capacity for the demand put upon it. The kitchen, and the team, did incredibly well to feed all of our lovely customers - but we felt there was still more that could be done.
As a result, we will be undergoing a full renovation of the kitchen starting on the 6th April.
In general terms, you shouldn't notice this too significantly - the kitchen and the bar will be running as normal.
However, from the 20th - 30th April the kitchen will be CLOSED.
We will still be keeping the bar open to make sure you lovely lot can stay refreshed in the gorgeous April sunshine (ha. ha.) Albeit, we will be running reduced hours;
Monday to Friday opening at 4pm, closing at 11pm.
Saturday opening at 12pm, closing at 11pm.
Sunday opening at 12pm, closing at 1030pm.
We apologise for the disruption, and it will be a lot of hard work to get us through to the finish line, but we are confident the result will be more than worth it.
Please fell free to give the pub a call should you have any questions/concerns.
Wish us luck!
Ally and the Black Jug team
