The Packet Station pub will finally reopen its doors next week following a £3.4 million redevelopment and refurbishment project.

A new roof terrace has been built at the Wetherspoon pub in the Moor.

In addition, the pub has undergone a refurbishment and upgrade, which will be unveiled when it reopens next Tuesday, December 20.

A total of 45 new full- and part-time jobs have been created at the new-look pub, creating a total workforce of 90.

The pub, which first opened in Falmouth in March 2003, is managed by Aaron Niles.

The roof terrace measures just over 1,900 square feet and is enhanced by plants and lighting.

A full refurbishment of the existing customer areas, at ground and first floor levels, as well as upgrades to the bars and customer toilets, has been undertaken.

Operational improvements have also been made, behind the scenes, with the introduction of drinks hoists, to the roof terrace, and an additional food hoist to improve speed of service for customers.

The interior design of the new-look pub draws on the modernist character of the existing building, with a colour palate reflecting the special Cornish light that continues to inspire great artists.

The ‘journey’ through the building continues across each floor, where artwork and sculpture explore the colourful facets of Falmouth’s history, including the now famous steam packet ships transporting letters and parcels across the world.

The ground floor has a customer area around the new main bar, with a series of smaller areas wrapping the stairs.

A raised area, to the rear of the space, looks out onto the small courtyard.

New bespoke lighting has also been installed throughout the pub to enhance the character of the individual areas.

Pub manager Aaron Niles said: “Wetherspoon has made a significant investment in this project, highlighting the company’s commitment to the pub and to Falmouth itself.

“We are thrilled with all of our new look pub and upgraded facilities, particularly the new roof terrace, which will provide a wonderful outdoor space for our regular customers and visitors to enjoy.”
