Glenhead Tavern to be renamed and refurbished under new plan

The Glenhead Tavern in Duntocher decided to close its doors on January 6 this year, after the leaseholder made the decision not to continue the tenancy.

Now, the owner of the bar, Star Pubs, has confirmed they are close to securing a deal with a new tenant, which could see the establishment renamed and refurbished.

Images have been released of the reimagined tavern, which is set to become The Duntocher.

With a fresh external facade enhancing its curb appeal, it's hoped the pub is poised to become a 'thriving hub for social gatherings, live entertainment, and memorable dining experiences'.

Entertainment every night of the week, a full sports package with live sports screens, and karaoke nights are just some of the other plans for the business.

A spokesperson for Star Pubs said: "We have someone interested in taking over the Glenhead Tavern, Duntocher. 

"However, there is a legal process to go through, and we wouldn’t be able to provide more details until that has been completed."

Owners, Star Pubs, are looking for an annual rent of £46,878.

The company that is run by Heineken UK say the right candidate should have extensive experience in community-led hospitality as well as a clear vision for their food and drinks menu.

The pub is set to serve the nearly 10,500 residents within walking distance of the establishment.

We previously reported Glenhead's closure in January, many regulars shared their disappointment in the news.

One said: "It’s a shame, but if people don’t go local, then they will all eventually close."

Another added: "So disappointed and feel sorry for the staff."
