Cherish the past to create a better future

The property is a Grade 2 listed building, the original timber-framed building 17^th Century, with alterations and additions 19^th Century and 20^th century.

The property is part of the Greene King portfolio of Public Houses, with the new leaseholder being Peach Pubs Co. We have a long and strong working relationship with both businesses, and in this instance carried out building repairs for Greene King and a full refurbishment for Peach Pubs.

The pub had been closed following the Covid-19 pandemic and suffered from no heating, lack of general maintenance, vandalism, and theft.

The project commenced in April 2022, and we were on site for 12 weeks in total.

Works included re-roofing, a new heating system, structural alterations to install Bi-folding aluminium doors, new fireplaces with log burners, a complete new commercial kitchen, new bar counter, all new internal finishes, electrical install, and air conditioning.

Externally redecorations of the building included completely new garden landscaping, large timber structures and pavings.

It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding project to bring this old pub back to life, with respect and sympathy to cherish the past and carefully integrate the new.

What our
clients say

"I have worked with Box Construction on a number of projects, and I have enjoyed every project. They are helpful, reliable, and flexible with a lot of experience in the hospitality trade, and it shows. They have always been really helpful in working around the difficult time restrictions we have in the trade and have always gone the extra mile to make sure that they give the best possible result for the best price they can. I look forward to continuing to work with them for the foreseeable future."

Ian Webster

Project & Operations Manager - Market Taverns

"SBS worked with Box Construction during the move to our new offices. They helped us create a modern open plan space. This was done during complex times when we were in and out of lock down. They are great to work with and have given a fabulous result. Always on time, always organised and solved a few unexpected issues on the way. I highly recommend the Box Construction team."

Tracey Rees

Chief Operating Officer - SBS Insurance

"I first met Chris Hill 20 years ago when he project managed an entire refurbishment of my restaurant, since then I have used no one else.Most recently Box Construction did a major refurbishment and refit during lockdown, and I could not be happier with it. The design and finish are fantastic, and the professional approach taken by the entire team was second to none. Because of the care and thought that they put into my establishment, we not only survived Covid but are now thriving and I would be happy to show anyone their work."

Shirley Gale

Owner - Casa Loco (Rugby)

"Box Construction have become our first-choice contractor since we first worked with them back in 2018. The whole team is professional, reliable, has a great attention to detail and importantly keeps to their word. We have now worked with them on four separate occasions. Box Construction have a wealth of knowledge and always bring added value to a project. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

Ed Mason

Managing Director - Five Points Brewery

“I have worked with Box for nearly a decade now on projects big and small. The challenges in renovating pubs and hotels are usually the same: old, sometimes historic, often poorly maintained buildings, tight time scales and real cost constraints. Having a contractor, you trust and with whom you can work in genuine partnership to solve issues as they arise and still finish the job on time and on budget makes a huge difference. We seek to identify long-term suppliers across our business, be they butchers, wine merchants, IT providers or builders, who share our values - people who are proud of what they make or do, who look after their teams well and will always go the extra mile for their customers. Box with its set of sub-contractors fits naturally into this family of suppliers. The team are always professional and good-natured, which makes for a positive, co-operative atmosphere on site, whatever challenges we face. I have no greater praise than to say they make life Peachy.”
