The Harp in Little Neston Set to Relaunch After Transformational £123,000 Refurbishment

The Harp, a family friendly community pub and local gem in Little Neston, will relaunch on Friday 20th June following a combined investment of more than £120,000 from Admiral Taverns and passionate licensee, Julie Woolley. The investment will allow Julie, who will be running the pub alongside her partner Fran McCarthy, breathe new life into the pub and fulfil a lifelong dream – running the very place she grew up in while her parents managed it over 20 years ago.

The pub is owned by Admiral Taverns – the UK’s leading community pub company with more than 1,400 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales.

Inside, The Harp has had a major transformation, boasting a new look and fresh decor giving a warmer, more welcoming feel, whilst old photos have been restored and reframed to honour the pub’s history.

Externally, the pub’s open plan garden has been revamped with new fences, flowers and signage.

To celebrate the relaunch, the Harp will host an acoustic event on Saturday 21st June, raising money for Maggie’s – a charity that provides free expert care and support in centres across the UK and online.

Julie Woolley, Licensee of The Harp, commented: “I’m extremely proud to be running the Harp – a pub where I have so many amazing childhood memories. Several of the customers that have been visiting from years ago are still the same today and it has been brilliant meeting everyone over the past couple of months”.

“The Harp is positioned in a stunning area with picturesque views and I’m excited to welcome everyone from all walks of life and can’t wait to see what the future will bring to the pub!”

Upon relaunching, the licensee will run an exciting schedule of weekly entertainment including quiz nights every Monday.

The pub hosts a traditional food offering, including steak and Guinness pie, fish and chips, beef lasagne and a Harp signature burger. This can be paired with an impressive range of drinks to suit all preferences, including Guinness, San Miguel and Madrí, as well as non-alcoholic options. There will also be a large gin selection with flavours ranging from raspberry and blood orange to pink grapefruit. Every Tuesday, customers will be treated to a curry and a pint for £9.50 until 7pm.

Ashleigh Kirk, Business Development Manager at Admiral Taverns, added: “I would like to take the time to thank Julie on her commitment, effort and contributions to the Harp. Her passion and dedication are truly unmatched and the pub looks incredible! On behalf of myself and everyone else at Admiral Taverns, I wish Julie and her team every success for the future.”
