A PUB in Denbigh which closed three years ago is set to reopen in the summer of 2025.

Brookhouse Mill shut in 2021 following the death of owner John Hall, but was acquired by pub group Stange & Co. in August,

The Wirral-based group, originally from Llandudno, plans to bring their quality fresh food and classic style to this corner of the Clwyd Valley after a funding injection of £850,000 from NatWest.

The company began as a grocery store in Llandudno more than a century ago, and lists 10 pubs in its portfolio – including the Cottage Loaf and The Snowdon in Llandudno, The Erskine Arms and Y Capel guesthouse in Conwy, and The Queen’s Head in Glanwydden.

With four generations of experience in the industry, Stange & Co. prides itself in restoring historic old buildings, enhancing the existing charm and character whilst bringing them up to date with light and airy spaces and modern fully equipped kitchen.

Stange & Co. is planning their comprehensive but sympathetic refurbishment of the building over the next 12 months.

The business is looking to add a sun terrace and new garden room with hopes to open the pub in the summer of 2025.
