Kate Major & Chris Bamford, the team behind CAMRA award winning pubs The Crow Inn and The Rutland Arms have signed the lease on their third pub, The Harlequin.
Situated down on Nursery Street overlooking the River Don on the edge of Kelham Island, the pub has been closed for a short period since late May after the departure of the previous longstanding tenants.
A refurbishment is being carried out, with a plan to reopen with a focus on real ale, cider and craft beer as well as spirits and wines from independent producers.
Reopening is planned for late July or early August. Good quality pub food and live music will follow in the coming months.
UPDATE – the Harlequin will be opening on Friday 2 August. Opening hours is midday to midnight.
