Golden Fish Inn, Consett share update on refurbishment
Golden Fish Inn, based in Delves Lane, Consett, confirmed that the transformation of the building is around 80 per cent complete on the outside, marking a significant step forward in its plans to expand and modernise.
Sharing the latest progress, the business said: “From the original drawings to where we are today, the transformation is well underway, and weβre now around 80 per cent complete on the externals.”
The next phase of the project will focus on installing a new shopfront and completing the block paving in the drive area, with both expected to be finished in the coming weeks. After that, attention will turn to structural changes inside the property.
The update continued: “The new shopfront and block paving drive area will be going in over the next few weeksβ¦ and then itβs time for the knock-through!”
Internal works are set to follow, as the takeaway prepares for a relaunch that will include a refreshed offering for customers.
The business added: “Next up: the internal works. We canβt wait to share our brand new menu with you! Golden Fish Inn 2.0 Coming soon!”
Earlier plans revealed the refurbishment and extension would almost double the size of the long-standing chippie, which has operated with limited space for two decades.
A spokesperson previously said: “We’ve had limited space for the last 20 years. More equipment will make it easier for our staff.”
They also confirmed ambitions to broaden the menu, adding: “We are looking to expand our menu too and include pizzas and smash burgers.”
The original announcement drew strong support from the local community, with residents welcoming the investment and looking forward to the upgraded facilities and expanded food options.
