Red Deer: Famous Georgian pub in Sheffield to undergo £245,000 refurbishment
A Yorkshire city centre pub which dates from the early 19th century is set to enjoy a new lease of life after securing a £245,000 investment.
The investment in the Red Deer on Pitt Street, Sheffield, which was built in 1825, is being undertaken by Heineken-owned Star Pubs. Work starts on July 20 and the Red Deer will reopen in late August with new operator Karl Seery at the helm, creating six jobs.
A spokesman said: “The Red Deer is the only remaining Georgian building on Pitt Street. The exterior works will renovate it in keeping with its architecture, repainting the pub, adding classic red glazed metro wall tiles and erecting new signage, while keeping its well-known mural, which was painted as part of Sheffield’s 2016 Street Art Festival.”
Len Jackson, Star Pubs investment manager for Sheffield: “This is the fourth pub refurbishment we’ve carried out in Sheffield this year, and we’re delighted to be putting more money into the city’s pubs. Our aim is to restore the Red Deer to its former glory as a top-quality traditional local known for its cask ale and food."
