Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 11:13 · Archive

The Grade II listed Tiger Inn in Driffield is reopening following a £250,000 refurbishment by Punch Taverns under new management. Charles Barber-Peat and his husband Simon, who have more than 20 years' combined experience in the pub trade, will run the venue. They plan to establish it as a community hub with weekly live entertainment, fundraising events for local and national charities, sporting events and weekly clubs.

The refurbishment has redesigned the interior with colours of burgundy, pastel greens and burnt oranges to create 'an old school pub with a new modern twist'. A revamped beer garden to the rear has been made more accessible and designed to host events year-round. The relaunch weekend will feature entertainment including fire breathers and stilt walkers.

Mr Barber-Peat said the couple, who have been in Driffield for a year, want to create a space for 'people of all walks of life, ages, backgrounds and cultures'. The pub will serve drinks only, with no food offering planned.
