The Vine Inn
Work has begun on a £250,000 transformation of The Vine Inn, Tenterden. The project will include redecorating throughout, including new lighting, décor and furniture. A new bar is being installed, and the layout of the pub will be changed to create an open kitchen and a new dining area. The rear garden is being repaved and new furniture will be installed. The building is also being repainted and bespoke signage and new lighting added.
Shepherd Neame director of retail and tenanted operations Nigel Bunting said: “We are delighted to announce this significant investment in The Vine. It is a fantastic pub in a great location and we hope that this refurbishment project will enable it to continue to go from strength to strength.”
The Vine is expected to reopen at the end of May >>> check here for updates
