The popular Sparking Clog reopened on Friday, March 14, unveiling a £406k transformation that introduces the unique “Two Door Pub” concept, offering a brilliant bar area and a dedicated family lounge.
The new design divides the pub into two distinct areas: a vibrant locals' bar and a warm, welcoming family lounge, designed around families’ needs. A central partition creates these separate spaces, allowing guests to enjoy everything they love under one roof and a place for everyone to feel they belong.
Located in the heart of Radcliffe, The Sparking Clog caters to different occasions, bringing the community together while allowing guests to choose their perfect experience - all without compromise. Now open, Marston’s latest ‘Two Door Pub’ has introduced stylish new décor.
The new bar area is complete with 4K big-screen TVs, TNT, and Sky Sports for guests to enjoy all the latest fixtures.
Staff member Andy Kay was chosen as the pub’s community hero to pull the first pint to mark the opening of the pub in honour of Down syndrome awareness. Andy is a well-loved member of the pub and local community, having been a huge part of the pub during the four years he has worked there.
The Sparking Clog is a dog-friendly locals pub with a community feel and there is a beer garden, giving guests the option to drink and dine inside or alfresco. As well as this, the pub will be hosting a variety of events following its opening, including a children’s disco on Saturday 22nd and 29th March.
Locals can now drop by for a pint and a bite to eat, celebrating unmissable moments in the heart of the community. The pub continues to serve its popular pub favourites, like the hand-battered fish and chips or southern fried chicken burger, with a kids menu and adult options available.
With over 1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland, and Wales, Marston’s locations range from traditional local and family-friendly pubs to venues designed for a warm, timeless country pub atmosphere offering shared good times for everyone.
General Manager of The Sparking Cog, Gary Hanmer, said: “We can’t wait to show our wonderful guests the result of our refurbishment. With the inclusion of new TV’s and sports channels, we hope our customers join us to enjoy this year's big summer of sports. We can’t wait to have our loyal customers back!”
