Star and Garter to reopen?
« on: Oct 5 - 2010 »
Rumour as it that the Star and Garter, Duncan St, Leeds is being done up so it can reopen. Once reopened the Duncan can then close down for a full refit.

I have my doubts as I was passed the Star and Garter and it did not look like any work was being done there.  Also the Duncan was closed for 24 hours a few weeks ago so the carpet could be deep cleaned.

As anybody out there get any insider information.

called in ther last week carpet looked much better,they had it done over night so they could open as usual next day and just closed early by 2 hours on the sunday to minimise any losses to have it done, as for other pub i believe its true but at very early stages, manager when asked wasvery cagey about it ,thats all i know,

The Duncan does need a decent refurb as it has looked the same scruffy pub for several years that i have been going to it. It seems strange that Sams would open another pub right next door to the one that is already open, but if only a temporary measure then how mcuh is he going to spend on it. I might check it out in a few weeks on my next trip to Leeds.

I was told that the Star and Garter was to remain open when the Duncan Reopens.   

Maybe there is room for one more Sam's pub around there as the 3 that are there now get quite full.

One management couple running more than one Sam's pub sounds about right. But the whole block in leeds needs a refurb anyway.
