Falmouth’s famous Chain Locker pub closes today for a five month refit. The St Austell Brewery-owned establishment needs major renovation and redevelopment and will not re-open until Easter 2017.
Locals, many of them sailors, are understandably distraught – for some the situation is not so far from being made homeless! But the works are necessary, according to owners who commented on facebook: Besides necessary repairs, we’ll be putting the main focus on The Shipwrights and will be incorporating it in to the existing features of The Chainlocker.
Host Brendon Hodder adds: “We can assure you that the The Chainlocker will not be changed and will not lose any of its wonderful charm. We’ll look forward to seeing you all very soon.”
