A NEW pub has been confirmed as replacing the Loch Fyne restaurant in Wokingham.
The Foundry Bell will take over the seafood restaurant on London Road after it shut its doors for the final time on Sunday, August 28.
The development is set to undergo a major renovation to return the building back to a pub, with new interiors, outdoor space and a new food offering.
According to the new owners, residents can expect “a reimagined contemporary pub vibe, with roaring fires, carefully hand-picked design features including a caramel lava top bar”.
Ed Dugdill, new openings manager said: “The Foundry Bell will be such a great addition to the Wokingham pub scene.
“The plans look incredible and alongside a menu that will take our guests from brunch to evening drinks with friends, it’s really exciting to be able to start talking about it.”
The development will create more than 40 jobs locally from managerial to front of house opportunities.
Taking inspiration from the original Wokingham Bell Foundry of the 13th century, the newly-named Foundry Bell will officially open in November 2022.
