Tooting Bec is on the up - The Wheatsheaf and Imperial Durbar are both under refurbishment, with exciting new function rooms and beer gardens to come. Tonight Friday 8th September, the Wheatsheaf will reopen and putting on a party to celebrate.
The Wheatsheaf, opposite Tooting Bec tube station, has
welcomed many changes and faces over the years. But it’s not always been plain
sailing. In 2015, after a long battle and many campaigns residents, along with
local MPs celebrated a win against greedy landlords and saved the pub from
being turned into yet another Tesco Express.
Tonight, from 6pm, head over to The Wheatsheaf in Tooting
Bec to discover a private dining room, (suitable for 30 people), a new lounge
room with an open fireplace (accommodating 40 people) and a larger room with a
bar (and concertina doors that open into the private dining room). All three function
rooms are available for private hire.
The much missed beer garden has also had a makeover. It’s
been decked out with new furniture, a fresh paint job and lot’s of leafy
planting. The main dining room has now become an extension of the bar, (if you’re
just drinking, you’ll be welcome to hang out in there). The chefs have been
working hard and have created a new food menu, a mix of pub classics and
seasonal specials – available to sample for free this evening.
The re-launch party will feature DJs all night and brewery
give aways. After being closed for the last week, I’m sure the regulars will be
scratching at the doors.
The Wheatsheaf in Tooting Bec will welcome back it’s regulars
and anyone from the local area is invited to pop by and discover the new-look Wheatsheaf
pub.
I’ll see you at the bar.
