Bath gets ready to welcome back The Huntsman pub into its drinking fold.
The historic building – in front of Ralph Allen’s classic townhouse – was once a Georgian Coffee House. Along with the Crystal Palace on Abbey Green – recently refurbished – and The Boater just off Laura Place – the pub has been bought by Fuller’s Brewery.
It’s a Grade ll listed building with the oldest shop-front in the city – dating back to 1680.
Now the outside has been cleaned and restored there is time to admire the amazing ornate porch canopy to the side. Doors open to drinkers tomorrow – Wednesday, November 27th.
Just across the way the Abbey Hotel is getting it’s pop-up Apres-Ski Bar ready for joining in the festive fun. It’s a fair-sized wooden chalet which has been set up on the pavement outside the hotel.
