Friday 02 September 2022 - Stonegate Media:
Junction Inn, Normanton is open once again following a £145,000 investment into the popular West Yorkshire-based pub.
Located on Market Place, Normanton, the community favourite pub has seen a complete overhaul of its interior. The refurbishment has brought a whole new look to the venue with a fresh colour scheme, new carpets and new upholstery on all of the pub’s furniture to give an almost unrecognisable change to its appearance.
Within the venue great viewing facilities are found throughout all areas of the pub, there’s no better place in town to catch all of the best sporting action live with your friends and family, as the Junction Inn enjoys the start of the new football season, with both BT Sport and Sky Sports being added for guests to view daily. The pub has three new TVs added, which gives the venue an amazing matchday feel. Elsewhere in the pub the pool table has been reclothed, as well as a new illuminated darts board and gaming machines being added to introduce a little healthy competition between friends.
Open everyday from 11am, the pub makes for the perfect venue to pop in, take a break from the summer sun and enjoy a refreshing drink. The bar stocks quality beers, wines, and spirits with well-known local, national and international names. The drinks menu also features a good choice of interesting low and no-alcohol drinks too.
Further entertainment from the pub comes with it’s weekly Thursday karaoke nights, Friday and Saturday discos, as well as regular live music events which are as popular as ever with the regulars.
Speaking on the reopening, Licensee of the Junction Inn, Grant Mander said: “I’m really pleased to have reopened the doors of the Junction Inn following our fantastic refurbishment, the pub is looking great and our guests so far have barely recognised the interior since the changes. This pub really is the pillar of the local community and we really want to put on more and more events to bring in even more local people. If you haven’t already we’d love to see you down here and check out the changes we’ve made.”
Junction Inn, Normanton is part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who were named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards.
Normanton was originally surrounded by a moat, and in Norman times was the site of an enclosed settlement (chosen for its strategic viewpoints across the surrounding area), and became known as ‘Norman – tune’, or ‘Norman – ton’. Normanton has become a growing commuter suburb of the Leeds City Region, with relatively cheap housing and efficient transport links. The town is still accessible via Normanton railway station
