The owners of a Derbyshire pub have shared their excitement over plans for a revamp – with the venue to close its doors next week and almost £1 million set to be invested.

The Blue Stoops, located on High Street in Dronfield, is set to close for a refurbishment project. Chilled Pubs, who own The Blue Stoops and The Hunloke Arms at Wingerworth, have confirmed that they will be investing nearly £1 million to revamp the venue.

In a post published on the pub’s Facebook page, a spokesperson said: “The Blue Stoops is getting a much-awaited glow-up this August.

“After over two years, we will be making nearly a £1 million investment to bring out the pub’s authentic charm, and inject a little Chilled warmth that you know from our other pubs.
