Starbeck pub opens as warm space this winter
A Starbeck pub is inviting people to use it as a free place of warmth this winter.
The Prince of Wales, on Starbeck High Street, launched its “warmth without worry” initiative last year following the rising costs of utility bills and is hoping to keep people warm again this year.
Landlady Alison Griffiths told the Stray Ferret “inflation has caused everything to go up – I just hope to save some people money”.
She added:
Ms Griffiths also said the initiative, which began last week, will continue “until the weather warms up”.
People don’t have to declare they’re using the service, she added, but instead can just take a seat, chat and enjoy themselves for as long as they like.
In a social media post, the Prince of Wales pub said:
The pub is open every day from 11am – 11pm.
