“Over the past 12 months we have poured our entire energy, heart and soul back into St Marys Gate, a 500 year old pub that deserves to be brought back to life!
Every corner, wall, floor, has been scrubbed, cleaned, painted and sanded to get to where we are now, and we are very excited for you to see what we have achieved. We hope that you love spending time here as much as we have enjoyed working on St Mary’s! ”
