The time has finally come - The Plough in Staining announces opening date following £450k refurb

The Plough in Staining is getting ready to reopen next week in time for the summer holidays after a £450,000 revamp.

Blackpool couple Brad and Jo Peacock will run the pub after spending 18 months at a boozer in Cumbria.

Former paramedic Brad was also a volunteer lifeboat crew member and Joanne was in charge of a hospital X-Ray department.

The pub closed its doors last month until the end of July for work which will make it family and dog-friendly.

Once reopened, the pub, which is owned by Star Pubs 1, will also serve food.

Fifteen new full and part-time jobs, from kitchen staff to bar roles, are also being created.

The pub will have a bar, dining space and a games area with the look of a "modern country pub".

There will be seating for more than 150 people in the garden.

Posting the exciting news on the business Facebook page, the duo said: “For weeks you’ve been asking…“When are you opening?”Well… The time has finally come.

“After months of planning, hard work, determination and one incredible transformation.

“The Plough will officially open its doors at 11am on Wednesday 5th August!”

They added: “From the very beginning, our ambition has been simple—to create a pub that Staining can once again call its own. Somewhere friends meet, families gather, great food is enjoyed, and memories are made.This is more than just reopening a pub… it’s the beginning of a brand new chapter for The Plough, and we can’t wait to share it with you.”

Before opening, the new owners are giving four lucky people the opportunity to experience The Plough before anyone else.

They are giving away two fantastic prizes, with each winner receiving an invitation for two guests to the exclusive Soft Opening on Tuesday, August 4.
