The refurb continues….

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Ian

Well things are progressing nicely and really starting to come together. It still looks like a bit of a building site but if you can see through the sawdust there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The very first pint, from the very first at table tap was pulled on Friday. Phil was our guinea pig and he advised that it “tasted exquisite” and was “perfectly chilled”. However, not satisfied with perfection of a single pint we continued to measure taste and temperature over the weekend. The good news is despite rigorous testing we found no issues with taste or temperature.

Another milestone was the official rebranding of the building. On Sunday the first of the Stamford Arms signs were taken down and replaced with beautiful and elegant signs for The Thirsty Bear.

Happy New Year…. and we are closed!

Wishing all of our customers a very prosperous New Year.

After a cracking New Year’s Eve with our last night trading as the Stamford Arms, we are now closed and well into the mix with all of our refurbishment. All the carpets are up and the work men are in busy beavering away laying new floors and giving the pub a good old spring clean.

Our intentions are to re-open on the 23rd January but for those “beary” special ones amongst us we would like to offer the ability to come in and help us test out the new system to the max. We intend to have a couple of test events prior to the official open where we want to invite a select few to come down and have a sneak preview.

Refurb Update

Posted on December 21, 2011 by Ali

Those of you familiar with the Stamford will have noticed a lot of changes going on of late externally. Progress has been promising and we are doing as much work as we possibly can inside to bring you our brand new concept as soon as we possibly can.

We are now in full swing upstairs and hope to have most of the painting done in time for our New Years Eve party so you can get a taste of what is coming…!

Thanks to Peter Painter and the gang for all of the hard work to date. A sneak preview for you all below….

Here is a quick collection of photographs showing the table application in action and of course showing the enclosure that will keep the iPads safe.

Want a closer look at what we will be installing early next year in the pub?

Well you’re in luck, we have just installed a demonstration screen and tap on the bar in the Stamford Arms, so you are welcome to come down, have a play and give us some feedback.

Above is our first real customer enjoying the system and pulling their first pint.

Looking forward to seeing you in there
