The Sycamore redecorations are progressing well, so keep Friday 2nd September free in your diary for the grand re-opening (see https://parwich.org/2016/08/11/sycamore-re-launch-planned/).
Kirsty is continuing the newspaper orders, so if you have a paper on Saturday or Sunday they will be available to collect. Currently the Shop @The Sycamore is open each day from 10am to 2pm, and we will keep you updated as things progress.
However the list of who gets what newspaper has been mislaid, so if you could let Kirsty or Jane know what weekend papers you want that would be a great help. Either call into the Shop this lunch time or phone 390 212.

Best Wishes to Janet and Rosie
Posted in People, Pub on Wednesday August 10, 2016| 2 Comments »
The Blog Team wish Janet and Rosie all the best in their new endeavours and their new home. It was nearly sixteen years ago that Janet took on the tenancy of the Sycamore Inn, and as well as all the hard work in maintaining a genuine local pub, she took on the shop, welcomed local groups and societies, for many years she was booking secretary for the Memorial Hall, provided a local collection point for prescriptions and directed countless delivery drivers, and much more.
Also there was the unseen support given to many, from phone calls to lifts, to such as looking after the man with presenile dementia who had lost his walking group until the Police could trace his carers. A local pub and shop are often
the first place people go for information or help.
Also a big thank you to Steve for the many years he did a full day’s work farming, then greeted customers from behind the bar with a smile and friendly chat.

Sycamore Development
Posted in Pub on Friday April 1, 2016| 5 Comments »
According to a contact within Robinson’s, the brewery are in negotiation with a party interested in developing the Sycamore. To protect our source we can’t reveal too much about the party involved but will call it the HB Plan for now.
The HB plan is to develop the Sycamore as a small boutique hotel and fine dining vegetarian restaurant. Keeping the original frontage but demolishing the rear brick section and rebuilding over and beyond the current footprint. The proposed development will include –
- 8 Deluxe guest suites
- Commercial Kitchen facilities
- Re-alignment of the stream behind the property to enable-
- A waterside garden restaurant
- Glass viewing platform
- Ornamental garden and illumination along the stream
- New wider car park entrance
- Removal of side garden to provide car park with space for 24 vehicles and 2 coaches
- technology including deep-ground thermal heating, solar panels, bio-fuel recycling plant and new miniature wind turbine generation.
We hope to have more on this exciting development shortly.
