The pub is part of Proper Pubs – the community wet-led operator division of Admiral Taverns and has been transformed with new furniture, flooring, fixtures and fittings throughout as well as a fully refurbished back bar and function room, which can accommodate up to 100 guests.
The Valiant also has four virtual dart boards, one pool table and several flat screen televisions, complete with Sky and TNT Sports.
Outside, the pub has brand new lighting and signage to greet visitors as well as a revamped terrace featuring new circular benches that will seat up to 60 people.
The front of the pub hosts a small, all-weather covered area for customers to use throughout the year.
Fantastic investment
The Valiant offers a wide range of drinks promotions, including Wine Wednesday, where customers can get £2 off a bottle, Fizz Friday, offering customers a bottle of fizz for £10, along with cocktails, bottle and shot deals throughout the week.
Operator of the Valiant Mandy Barber said: “I am absolutely delighted to be at the helm of the Valiant and to have played a part in this fantastic investment that I’m confident will help me and the team unlock its full potential as a true community pub.”
“I’d like to take this opportunity thank my amazing team for all their hard work since reopening, my partner Darren, everyone at Proper Pubs and of course the fantastic community for their incredible support throughout this journey and helping me to bring the vision to life.”
Local donations
The pub will continue to run its popular live music evenings every Friday and in addition, Mandy is also keen to start collecting food to donate to the local foodbank and fundraising to have a lifesaving defibrillator installed.
Proper Pubs operations director Matthew Gurney said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have Mandy at the helm of the Valiant. Her deep-rooted connection to the pub, combined with her passion for the local community makes her the perfect person to create a thriving social hub that will sit at the heart of Grimsby for many years to come.”
Proper Pubs operates more than 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales.
