The John Harvey Arms in Whitchurch is reopening today, Wednesday 20th March under the new ownership of Craft Union Pub Company. The pub, which has benefitted from a £230,000 interior transformation, will be welcoming guests back with a fun-filled launch party the following week.

The refurbishment has provided the community favourite with a fresh new look that includes new seating, a refreshed bar area and a full interior redecoration, welcoming a new era of the pub as a place to be in Bristol for anyone looking for a true community hub.

In keeping with Craft Union’s mission to provide a high-quality sports and entertainment offering in all their sites, the refurbishment of the John Harvey Arms has also equipped the venue with brand new TVs, complete with full Sky and TNT Sports facilities. The pub is also reopening with multiple pool tables and darts boards throughout for any guests that are eager to try their hand at some friendly competition.

Sophie Knight and Shaun Bratley, two experienced pub managers, have come in as the new operators of the site and commented: “We used to run a pub up in Glastonbury where we are from, and it is a huge honour to move to Whitchurch and become the operators of the John Harvey Arms. We are so excited to welcome the community back to the pub and show the improvements that have been made.  Our plan for the John Harvey Arms is to make it a true community hub with our locals at the heart of all we do, so please do come in, everyone is welcome!”

As part of the pub’s transformation, the team will also be hosting a number of exciting weekly events for guests. For any local quiz enthusiasts, the John Harvey Arms is the place to be on Tuesday 26th March as they will be hosting their first Quiz Union which has a phenomenal £200 prize up for grabs. The pub also invites guests to join them for boardgames every Wednesday, music bingo Thursdays, karaoke on Fridays and live music every Saturday evening.

The pub will also be hosting a fun-filled launch party to officially welcome guests back to the venue. Guests are encouraged to keep an eye on the John Harvey Arms’ Facebook page for the full upcoming details.
