Whiting and Hammond Ltd, the award winning family run pub and restaurant group has just secured its eighth pub site.
The Blue Ball is in Walton on the Hill in Surrey, an area a little out of W&H’s heartland, however they have been very keen to move into Surrey and are confident they have found the right spot. The Blue Ball has been closed for over two years and is in a sad old way. The plan is to rejuvenate this once famous pub and bring it back to life. A place where people can meet, eat and drink in a relaxed and formal but well run establishment.
W & H are working closely with Star Pubs to bring the site back to life. Work has begun on the Blue Ball to add an extension, along with a wonderful top of the range kitchen on the 1st floor and 3 magnificent huts in the garden, which are also available at The Little Brown Jug and Kings Head, for alfresco dining all year around.
With a combined budget of £750,000 being spent, the new site is due to be open by mid August. The true Whiting and Hammond style will be carried forward with this venue and the food and drink offerings will reflect the company ethos of providing fresh, locally sourced produce and a great selection of ales.
Job opportunities
W & H are looking to put a cracking team of over 35 to run and manage the site: feel free to get in touch if you would like to join the team.
Managing Director, Brian Whiting said, “This is an exciting time and we look forward to getting this pub open and trading once more. I have no doubt Walton on the hill will be proud to have this great pub as their local once more.”
