Community hub The Bell Foundry, Loughborough, recently had the pleasure of welcoming local MP Jane Hunt for a comprehensive tour of the venue following an extensive £164,000 investment from the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company.
At the helm of the site is Operator Lorraine Bennett who was on hand to show Jane how the investment has revitalised the pub and created a welcoming space for the locals to enjoy.
Lorraine was able to show Jane around the new look pub which has benefited from new furniture and fixtures along with a refreshed drinks menu featuring a wide selection of beers, wines, cocktails, and spirits.
The pub also boasts a lively entertainment schedule featuring karaoke on Fridays, Thursday quiz nights and beer pong on Wednesdays along with sports fans being able to catch all the latest sporting action on a number of HD TV screens that the Bell Foundry offers.
Jane and Lorraine were able to discuss the local challenges that the site and community faced where Jane offered her help and support. The pair also discussed the rich history of the site along with the efforts made by the team at the pub to engage with the local community.
Before leaving, Jane was able to get behind the bar and try her hand at pouring a pint under the expert guidance of the knowledgeable pub team.
“It was lovely being able to talk with Jane and show her how the investment has transformed and uplifted the space,” said Lorraine. “We were able to discuss key topics that directly affect the pub, and it was great to hear Jane’s support for hospitality. We look forward to welcoming her back again soon.”
Jane said “It was wonderful to visit the team at the Bell Foundry and learn all about the investment in the building and therefore in our town. It is clear that the pub is a true community space and Lorraine along with the rest of the pub team have done a fantastic job of keeping the venue at the forefront of the community. I look forward to visiting again.”
