We now have a basic bar (with a fantastic bar top), the cellar is ready and beers are settling, the frontage is painted and we have started decorating around the builders.

Rest assured we are doing everything to make it happen! Our shiny new three-tier stillage was erected this morning and the cellar piping loom will be fitted tomorrow, ready for delivery of our first beers on Friday. Stay posted for more updates soon!
YAY! We have been granted a premises license and building work started yesterday. The picture shows Dave digging the first divot! It’s a tight schedule, but we’re confident that we can be open in time for the Retford Beer Festival, which starts on October 23rd.
Buliders have been awarded the contract and work is scheduled to start next Thursday, 2nd October. Our target date for opening is week commencing 20th October, just in time for the Retford Beer Festival, which is held right next door to BeerHeadZ at the Town Hall. It’s going to be tight, but we’re confident we can do it. Stay posted!
We have change of use approval from the local Council and now own a set of keys! The work starts now into converting this unit into Retford’s premier cask beer venue. Stay posted!
