00:00 We started probably three years ago when we bought the pub.
00:03 It was quite run down, in fact very run down and leaking.
00:07 So the last three years we've looked at going through the planning process
00:12 and refurbing it, adding an additional two bedrooms onto the extension,
00:19 an additional three in the loft.
00:22 So that gives us a total of 11 rooms, all to a very, very high standard.
00:28 I don't think there's any luxury rooms to this standard anywhere else in Morecambe.
00:32 The pub we've refurbed to, again, a good standard.
00:38 We'll be serving cascades and everybody's welcome.
00:42 We'll also have live music on.
00:45 We've refurbed the fience blocks, bringing it back to its Art Deco original standard.
00:52 We've removed all the maroon tiles from the base of the building.
00:57 We've added the new windows up on the first, second floor, new VELUX windows in the loft.
01:05 It's been quite extensive.
01:07 The canopy was rotten.
01:10 We've had to replace that on the majority of it, the top of it.
01:15 New lead work on it, bring it back to, well, we're totally watertight now.
01:21 And likewise with the basement, we've refurbed the basement out completely.
01:25 So we now have probably, it's quite a large cellar, dry with leaks everywhere, but now we're pretty dry.
01:32 We've been working with the owners of the bath for about six months to a year,
01:37 and we're honoured to be part of this project.
01:39 We appreciate what the bath has meant to people over the years.
01:42 And yeah, it's really exciting for us to be here and be part of it.
01:46 We serve coastal comfort food, celebrating the produce and the people of Morecambe Bay.
01:51 So we'll be serving our signature seafood chowder, as well as a chicken dish and some other dishes further down the line.
