The pub is based in the heart of the town that bares home to the Stockton and Darlington Railway. With its town hall dating back to 1735, the Blue Post was built in the 19th century and was previously named Blue Post Yard. The pub is part of the award winning Craft Union Pub Company, which has recently been named Best Community Pub Operator, for the third time, at the Publican Awards.
Guests will see familiar faces behind the bar in Laura Buckley and Brad Hutchinson. Laura was the manager of the pub, when it was known as the Traders Post, and Brad has worked in security at a number of local venues in the area.
Operator at The Blue Post, Laura said: “This is an exciting time for The Blue Post and we are so pleased to be open again. This refurbishment has been a perfect opportunity for us to bring the pub into 2022 with a fresh new look and the final result is just brilliant. We’ve had a great response from our guests on the new appearance and we’ve been as busy as ever since reopening the doors. This is a great pub for families and friends to meet up. For us it’s all about capturing the hearts and minds of the local people as an all-day community pub.”
She added: “Enjoy quiet time, watch a match, take part in a quiz, chill with some music or celebrate a special occasion. We are open for everyone whatever the reason, that’s the beauty of a pub, you don’t need a reason to call in, although, I have to say, you do need to come in and see what we have done with the place!”
The Blue Post is located on the town’s high street, just a short walk from the riverside of the beautiful River Tees in the heart of Stockton.
