Wetherspoons to build first ever 'Super Spoons' featuring 'Britain's biggest beer garden'

There’s one place you can always count on when the Sun is shining and you fancy a pint and that’s Wetherspoons.

As a staple of Great British culture, Spoons provides cheap food and even cheaper booze to the public, especially on the Bank Holidays when we’re all feeling the need to congregate for music and cocktails.

But the much-loved chain has been working on a major redevelopment of one of its popular branches.

According to The Sun, Wetherspoons is going to create a mega location, with the 'biggest beer garden' known to Britain.

The chain is set to invest a whopping £5 million to create a ‘Super Spoons’ which will be more than just your regular pub.

In fact, it’s going to be a 26-bedroom hotel equipped with 200 staff.

Plus, it’s not a far-off plan as work begins on Monday (13 May) to renovate The Mile Castle in Newcastle, which first opened back in December 2009, and expand it’s structure to take on the additional space.

When it’s finished, the location will reportedly double in size, and will feature a 3,000sq ft outdoor area.

But where they giveth they taketh away as The Mile Castle will unfortunately be closed from 24 June until 3 September.

The hotel won’t open until November, and will help the city with new part-time and full time jobs as it’ll need around 70 staff members on hand. This is on top of the 130 people who already work at the pub.

And, this isn’t actually a new idea.

Thankfully, now we’re all able to go about life as normal some years on, the Super Spoons can get cracking!

Not only will the refurb include an extended bar, a new cellar and some contemporary carpets, but the hotel aspect will provide guests with a swanky en-suite and disability accessible rooms.

Sir Tim Martin, the founder and chairman of Wetherspoons, said: "The investment highlights our commitment to the pub, its customers and staff, as well as the city of Newcastle.

"The Mile Castle is an extremely popular pub and we are confident that our customers will welcome the work being undertaken in the pub as well as the creation of our first hotel in the city."
