Chesterfield pub owner set to open doors to latest venue this week – following period of closure
A pub in Chesterfield will open its doors once again in just a few days – having been closed for several weeks after being taken on by a new owner.
The Ark Tavern at Chesterfield Road in Brimington has been taken on by Ben Stephenson – the owner of Brimming With Beer.
Ben took the keys to the pub on August 14, and has confirmed that the Ark Tavern will open its doors again at 5.00pm on Friday, September 27 – following a period of maintenance works.
In a post on the pub’s Facebook page, Ben said: “We’ve got a cellar full of beer, shelves full of spirits and fridges full of wine, beer and all your favourite mixers.
“As well as that, we have food from The Travelling Taverna and live music courtesy of Phil Johnson. See you all from 5.00pm on Friday.”
The pub will be offering the likes of Staropramen, Erdinger, Stones, Guinness, Old Mout Cider and Cruzcampo – along with beers from Thwaites and Stancill Brewery.
When he took on the pub last month, Ben also revealed plans to introduce a food offering at the Ark Tavern in the future.
He added: “We are planning on having a food offering in the pub, but this will come in time (there is a lot of work to do in the kitchen). The pub will still be a pub, just a pub that you can get food in, starting with breakfast right through to evening meals and everything in between.”
