PULLING TOGETHER AT BAR

PULLING a pint was all in an evening's work for the Mayor of Sandwich, Cllr Joe Trussler.

He was invited to do the honours at the re-opening of the Market Inn, which has had a £100,000 refurbishment.

Cllr Trussler also received a £200 cheque for the National Heart Research Fund from Shepherd Neame chairman Robert Neame.

The refurbishment is part of a £20 million investment by the Faversham brewery over the next three years.

Shepherd Neame managing, director Jonathan Neame said: "East Kent is a key focus for us right now.

"As well as our transformation of the Market Inn, we are delighted to announce our acquisition of the Royal Hotel in Deal, which we are planning to refurbish."

The "Market Inn" is now more than twice its original size and has a first floor restaurant and an expanded bar area.

Licensee Terry O'Brien said: "The refurbishment looks fantastic and we're excited to be able to offer our customers such top class facilities."

 

 

Dates from 1874.

Closed in November 2011, the "Market Inn" is now open again as of January 2012.
