PLANS to overhaul a pub in “one of the most haunted buildings” in Bucks have come forward.
The aptly-named Spirit Pub Company (Services) Limited has applied to Bucks Council for a variation of a premises licence at the Boot and Slipper in Amersham, in connection to refurbishment works.
Inside there will be alterations to the bar, and minor changes to seating and screens.
Plans also include a new rear garden area with pergolas and covered seating.
A mobile bar unit is also mentioned for outside.
Currently it is part of Chef and Brewer, under Greene King.
The pub is in what was once “a hub for the region’s thriving local boot trade,” according to its website
And it is considered locally as “one of the most haunted buildings in Buckinghamshire”.
“The building itself has been associated with the drinks trade for several centuries, with records showing it in the hands of the local family-run brewery Wellers of Amersham in the 1700s,” the Boot and Slipper website reads.
“Today, despite its history and traditional look, plus its local reputation as one of the most haunted buildings in Buckinghamshire, this is very much a 21st-Century pub, with a modern dining menu and a family-friendly vibe.”
The licence is due for debate on April 28.
