First glimpse inside new-look General Tarleton

Friday, 29 August 2025 08:39

The General Tarleton is now open following an extensive refurb.

Visitors have been given an exclusive first look inside the new General Tarleton ahead of its launch.

The General Tarleton will officially reopen its doors to bookings today (Friday) following an extensive renovation.

The project has been led by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks and his newly established hospitality group, Jeopardy Hospitality.

The restoration of the 18th-century inn aims to ‘balance tradition with a modern hospitality experience’, including a revamped bar area, updated dining spaces and newly refurbished guest rooms.

Tommy said:

"We have received so much support for our project and hopefully we open the doors to lots of customers this week.

"If I could urge you to do one thing it would be to support your local independent hospitality business.

"When you spend your money here you invest back in to your community and provide young people with jobs."

The new-look General Tarleton includes a focus on both community engagement and destination dining.

The venue offers a diverse menu featuring seasonal British dishes such as pies, whole fish, soufflés and Sunday roasts.

Check out the menu here.

Tommy added:

“The aim is to create a busy pub rooted in community and be a great destination for people to visit and stay too.

“Somewhere you can come for a pint, a midweek meal, a special family occasion or a date night! We just want it to be a proper hospitality venue.

“We have created a great bar space just for drinking cozy tables for family dining, a beautiful light conservatory and the Barn which will be awesome for events and private dining.

“The rooms have had a beautiful make over ready for a cozy getaway.”

The project marks the first initiative under Jeopardy Hospitality, which aims to revitalise struggling or closed hospitality venues across the country.
