Pub Overview Contemporary refurbishment planned A well-finished refurbishment will transform the Bear into a premium community pub. Inside, the pub will be redecorated the dining area with new floor finishes, fixed seating and cage planters. There will minor works to the bar, and minor enhancements to the flooring throughout the rest of the pub. The toilets will undergo decoration, and trade kitchen and cellar will receive required decoration and additional fixed kitchen equipment. The refurbishment will include the addition of an all-new signage and lighting will also be installed, giving the pub a ‘face-lift’ to give it fantastic kerb appeal. We will also add new outdoor furniture and lighting. Community focused area The Bear is located in the village of Wrecclesham, on the outskirts of Farnham, only 2 miles from the centre. Wrecclesham is known for sporting hubs for cricket and rugby. Farnham is a historic market town nestled in the rolling Surrey Hills. Farnham is a short drive from the pub, making the Bear a great place to stop on the way into the town centre. There are strong affluence levels surrounding the pub with 61% high and 26% medium affluence. The local demographics suggest a good demand for quality food and drink. Tap into this pub’s potential The Bear will operate as a community favourite once refurbished. The planned investment will allow us to fully re-decorate the pub and give the ample passing trade a reason to visit. With a revitalised offer and vibe, the pub will appeal to customers who want to meet friends for a drink or to stop for a drink or bite to eat before and after their shopping trips or visiting the nearby market.
