Burnham-On-Sea pub re-opens this weekend after revamp

A Burnham-On-Sea pub will re-open on Friday night (March 30th) following a three-month revamp.

The Old Pier Tavern in Pier Street has spent thousands of pounds on redecorating its interior and outside facia.

New landlord Jamei Roberts, who was the drummer with 1960s band Mungo Jerry, plans to turn the pub into Burnham's leading live music venue.

Old Pier Tavern in Pier Street Jamei's daughter, Dusica, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We plan to have lots of great bands playing on Friday and Saturday nights plus jazz on Sundays."

The pub has a new modern feel inside (pictured) with four bar staff and three staff in the kitchen, enabling a new menu of home cooked food to be offered.

Jamei has over 35 years of experience in the music industry and has secured two bands at the pub this weekend. Playing on Friday night will be Bristol-based ska band The Communicators, followed on Saturday by a ten-piece soul group, The Orphans.
