Liberation Group to open new venue at the Weighbridge

Thursday 11 September 2014

The Liberation Group has agreed terms with local property developers Comprop, which will see the opening of a new venue on the site of the former Southampton Hotel.

Plans for the new venue - Weighbridge House - are being finalised but it will contain a bar and restaurant and four floors of office accommodation. The historic façade has been preserved and will be restored as part of the development

Liberation Group is the largest Channel Islands' bar, eaterie and drinks distribution business and this latest deal is part of an investment programme that has recently seen the refurbishment of the White Horse at Le Dicq and the transformation of Dix Neuf in St Helier into Hugo's, a contemporary bar and diner. The company has also recently acquired the historic Old Court House Inn on St Aubin's bulwarks.

Liberation Group Chief Executive Mark Crowther said: “This is a really exciting day for Liberation Group. We are delighted to be working with Comprop on such a prestigious new development in such a busy and high profile area. We are proud of our portfolio of pubs, bars and eateries in the Channel Islands and this is evidence once again of our commitment to investing in both existing and new venues.”
