The Kingfisher pub in Smith’s Wood near Solihull has been transformed in a joint investment by pub owners Red Oak Taverns and multiple pub operator Katrina Hindocha. Katrina, who also operates The Damson pub in Solihull with Red Oak, spent £30,000 alongside a further £120,000 investment by Red Oak to bring the pub back for the community. The new look pub has been completely refurbished inside and out following its closure in January 2020.
The investment and the pub reopening has created eight new jobs and a further kitchen development will be completed later this year, which will allow the pub to launch a food menu including Sunday lunches.
Speaking about her new pub venture, Katrina said, “The pub is completely different and the customers absolutely love the changes. We’ve been able to provide them with a much needed pub that focuses on the community and I’m really looking forward to be able to launch food here soon too”.
Business development manager for Red Oak Taverns, Jonathan Seaton-Reid said, “It’s great to have Katrina on board with a second pub with us. She is local and understands the area and what makes a fantastic community pub. The Kingfisher is now back on the map and it will be great for customers old and new”.
