Publican House Restaurant
The Publican House Restaurant is starting to take shape. The iconic building at the corner of Charlotte and Rubidge in downtown Peterborough is undergoing a complete renovation with an opening planned for early in the new year.
The wood fire pizza oven just arrived last week, and the beer-friendly menu is being developed with advice from Brad and Katie Watt of the Rare Grill House.
Meanwhile, the exterior of the building is getting special attention from Peter Woodworth of The Brick Painters. Peter specialises in the restoration of brick buildings using a system that sees every single brick painted in a faux finish that is durable, long lasting, and inexpensive.
