Lendal Cellars- plans lodged for York pub refurbishment

Plans lodged with City of York Council would see new signs installed on the doorway of Lendal Cellars and at the top of the alleyway leading down to the pub.

Owners Greene King stated they were part of a revamp that would see the inside and outdoor area of the pub improve to enhance its value for the community.

The plans would see signs with hand-painted lettering and timber blackboards installed outside the pub, off Lendal.

They would be painted in its owner’s green and copper colour scheme and feature a drawing of a monk sampling drinks from barrels in a cellar.

Signs with information about the pub’s history would also be displayed on the wall of the alleyway connecting Lendal to the venue’s entrance.

Lighting including a small lantern and a menu case are also set to be installed.

Plans stated: “The use of individual letters and hand-painted signwriting reflects traditional signage methods commonly associated with historic public houses and reinforces the building’s established identity.”

The latest plans come after an application for the full refurbishment of the pub was submitted in November.

Greene King’s plans include refurbishing the beer garden including the installation of an outside bar, new seating and lighting.

Wooden floors inside the pub would be replaced, toilets would be refurbished and changes are also planned to the existing bar.

The council is yet to decide on the plans.
