A quarter of a million pounds is being spent turning a Braintree pub into a state-of-the-art sports bar.
Sports bar franchise Bar Sport has teamed up with new owner Steven Winder, 22, to renovate Silkworm, in the High Street, which closed last October when operating companies Bramwell Pub Company Limited and Bramwell Pubs and Bars Limited went into administration.
The six-week renovation project, which began three weeks ago, includes new flooring, booth seating, 29 TV screens, a games area and a wall of fame full of local sports photos and memorabilia.
