Hi, I'm a first time poster and live on St Germans Road a couple of houses along from the Honor Oak Pub. I emailed the brewery out of interest as to what their plans were for the pub and this is the response I received:

"After speaking with the Partnership Development Manager for the Honor Oak, I can confirm that we are hoping to open the site beginning of August 2014. We understand how frustrating this must be for you and we apologise for the delay, however we are doing what we can to get the public house re-opened. We do have a new partner going into the outlet and an investment will be taking place, this is currently being finalised with our legal department."

This email from Punch Taverns was sent last Friday - I have asked them to update this forum more regularly with their plans but they said they would only be able to do this if a specific request is made for information. Here is their email address for anyone who would like to contact them: 'Enquiries@punchtaverns.com'

Let's hope their plan to open the pub at the beginning of August 2014 remains on course.
