A POPULAR family restaurant's refurbishment has been delayed again, its owners have announced. 

The Timberdine, Bath Road, is being revamped by owners Harvester as part of work that will include a new bar and outdoor terrace.

The pub chain previously announced the pub and restaurant on Bath Road would close for the refurbishment on April 25, before that was rescheduled to May 23. 

Now the chain has said the pub will close on June 26. 

Worcester News:

In its latest update, posted on its Facebook site, The Timberdine said: "As some of you may know we are no longer closing for our refurbishment on May 23, it has been moved to June 26. 

"Our last quiz night will be June 19."

We recently reported in March about the refurbishment plans, submitted in an application to Worcester City Council. 

The improvements included: "Proposed refurbishment to include internal works, changes to modern entrance porch and creation of new rear customer terrace."

A statement included with the application said: “The proposed works to repair the existing flat roof entrance porch will ensure there is adequate fixings for new millboard cladding.

“This will massively improve the existing dated look and will visually look more in keeping with the building along with new signage.

“These will establish a refresh in appearance to locals and those using the public house and will repair the otherwise rotten entrance.”

That planning application is displayed on the authority's website as "pending decision".
