Chestnut Group gets rebuidling green light for Cambridgeshire pub


The Chestnut Group has been granted Listed Building Consent for The Blackbirds Inn in Woodditton, Cambridgeshire. The work will begin in January and the company will be reopening the pub in Autumn 2019.

Following a devastating fire in March 2018 at The Blackbirds Inn, The Chestnut Group has been working closely with local planners and the Conservation Officer to ensure this historically relevant building can be sensitively rebuilt.

Philip Turner, Founder of The Chestnut Group, commented, “I am so pleased we can move forward with our plans to renovate and reopen The Blackbirds Inn. I’d like to thank our loyal guests and local community for bearing with us and we very much look forward to welcoming them back next year.”

When The Blackbirds Inn reopens, it will once again be the cosy pub cherished by so many, offering a warm welcome to all its guests with a seasonal food and drinks menu that celebrates the very best of the region’s provenance.
