We are so pleased we have been able to repair the roofing damage from Tuesdays fire at the Black Bear Tewkesbury. We worked late into last night and will continue to work on this so the pub can soon be reopened for all to enjoy again 😁
Which? Trusted Traders
We’re open as normal from 10:00am tomorrow.
The building is safe, but there is still some remedial work taking place. So if you hear the odd bang or see tradesmen about over the next few days, that will be them finishing things off into the early part of next week.
It has been a whirlwind few days, but what has really stood out is how the community has pulled together. From tradesmen turning out at short notice and working late into the night, to those who have sent messages, stopped for a chat, or simply given a wave in the street, I have been genuinely humbled by it all.
When I took on the renovation of The Black Bear, my goal was to make it part of Tewkesbury’s civic life, a place for the town to come together, to celebrate, commiserate, enjoy events, good beer, and good company. It has felt as though during the course of this week every bit of effort we have put in has been repaid by the good people of this town. I am incredibly grateful.
It is business as normal from tomorrow. We will have live racing from Cheltenham through the day, Eubank v Benn on the big screen tomorrow night, and live music from Copperhead. We cannot wait to welcome you all back.
Thank you, Tewkesbury.
Luke and The Black Bear Team
