Joseph Pearce, a well-known pub located on Elm Row in Edinburgh, is set to undergo a significant renovation costing £280,000. The investment, led by Heineken-owned Star Pubs, aims to transform the venue into a 'top quality local' with extended opening hours and a revamped menu. Local resident Paul Henderson will take over as the new operator, bringing his passion for hospitality to the establishment. The renovation will preserve the pub's historic charm while introducing modern elements, including a contemporary interior design with bold colors and new furniture. The outdoor area will also be enhanced for a better customer experience. The new menu will feature a variety of dishes, from gourmet sandwiches to traditional pub favorites, and the drinks selection will include cocktails and premium beers. Joseph Pearce plans to continue its popular quiz nights and introduce new entertainment options in the fall, ensuring it remains a vibrant community hub. The pub, which dates back to the 1800s, is a significant part of the local heritage.
