The Quintessential
Country Pub

  • Interior Design

Vintage Inns set out to be Britain’s most loved country pubs. The ambition is to create places you stumble upon, fall in love with and return to time and again, each full of individual character while quietly belonging to a wider family. Since the first trial sites in 2019, the format has been rolled out to 32+ locations nationwide, proving heritage and consistency can sit comfortably side by side.

With dining out increasingly seen as a treat and material costs rising, the challenge was to spend smarter and maximise impact. Drinks led spaces needed to remain relaxed and welcoming, while dining areas had to feel considered and just a little elevated. By reworking customer journeys and refining zoning, we created layouts that support operations while enhancing the guest experience.

Each pub is organised into three clear zones: cosy bar and snug spaces, flexible all day areas, and more refined dining rooms. A countryside inspired palette of soft pastels, earthy tones and warm accents unifies the interiors, improving kerb appeal and creating spaces made for lingering.

Décor and ambience lovely, warm and welcoming. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW WILLY WICKET
Pub looks great still kept its charm but has more elegance about it. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW GOLDEN RETRIEVER
First visit since refurbishment and have to say the pub is looking fantastic. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW WHITE LION
I was relieved to see that it hadn't been modernised or themed, just freshened up. Still a homely atmosphere, fire in the grate on a chilly evening, tables not too close together. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW WHITE LION
What an amazing change. Not just the recent refurbishment which has made the whole place look bright and modern, but the food was most excellent. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW THE VINE
Can only say what a pleasure it was, lovely building outside and amazing transformation inside. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW CALVERLEY ARMS
The pub has just had a major refurb and has been improved beyond recognition from how it was previous. It’s now bright and still has the homely feel with the open fires. TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW BULLS HEAD
