The Foley Arms in Sutton Coldfield has closed to allow for an exciting refurbishment before reopening as a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub. This transformation represents a significant investment of £270,000.

The much-loved community pub will be transformed with new features designed to deliver a stadium-style experience on every visit.

The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, including multiple massive screens, an immersive state-of-the-art sound system, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action.

The beer garden will also be refurbished, with new TV screens installed, and locals will be able to order through the Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action.

The Foley Arms will also be decorated with local sports memorabilia and is calling on the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.

Located in Sutton Coldfield, the Foley Arms is a community pub perfectly positioned for locals and families to relax with a drink, catch the latest sports fixture, or refuel with some food after taking a walk through the Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve or taking a swing at the nearby Sutton Coldfield Golf Club.

Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more. Regulation dartboards and pool tables will return alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.

A new range of bar food will be introduced, perfect for half-time and larger groups. The ‘Match Day Menu’ will feature hand-held bites such as chicken wings and nachos, and pub favourites such as steak & ale pie, grills, and burgers. The Foley Arms has also refreshed its range of drinks, with all draught beers available in 2-pint cups.

Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless chips on team nights and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.

The Foley Arms will reopen on 28 October with a brand-new look. For more information or to book a table for the reopening, visit foleyarmspub.co.uk
