The Inn Collection Group marks Northumberland inn’s decade of trading with community inspired revamp

The Inn Collection Group has marked a decade of trading at its original new-build pub with rooms with a refurbishment designed to celebrate its surrounding community.

The refurbishment of The Hog’s Head Inn site in Alnwick, Northumberland features bespoke tractor tables and an agricultural theme in a show of support towards the surrounding farming and rural business community, while bespoke murals and commissioned artworks champion the local district.

The North East based hospitality group reopened The Hog’s Head Inn in time to mark 10 years of trading as the group’s first new-build food-driven pub with rooms.

The refurbishment includes remodelling of the inn’s bar and dining areas including feature booth seating areas and outdoor pergolas, raised seating areas and new breakfast and buffet server spaces. It also saw each of the inn’s 56 ensuite bedrooms and manager’s accommodation suite undergo full upgrades.

General manager Sean Schofield said: “We are delighted with The Hog’s Head Inn’s fresh new look which was inspired by and celebrates the community around us, including local farmers and the rural businesses. It offers our customers a relaxed yet quality environment to eat, drink or stay with their family and friends.

“The refurb took three months and the inn was closed for five weeks while a top to toe revamp took place and it has been worth the wait. It makes our ten-year anniversary even more special and is a lovely way to give back to locals and our guests who have supported us since we opened and applaud the community here in Alnwick.”

The Hog’s Head Inn first opened its doors in 2012 as a purpose built 53-bedroom pub with rooms in Alnwick as a partnership between The Inn Collection Group and Northumberland Estates.

The expanding 31-site group has a further four pubs with rooms in Northumberland as well as sites in the Lake District, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, North Yorkshire, Lancashire and North Wales.
