The Old Abbey Taphouse has kitted an upstairs room with sofas and a projector to watch films
An award-winning community pub in Hulme has been opening up its upstairs rooms for locals and families to keep warm in the face of rising energy bills. The Old Abbey Taphouse refurbed what was previously the pub’s meeting room, and has fitted it out with sofas and a projector, turning it into a ‘warm bank’.“We launched it in December,” landlady Rachele Evaroa said. “We just realised that there were people sitting at home, and they’re cold.
“We really work with the people who are on our doorstep, so it’s really important to me that local people get the first access. We’ve always been like this, from the day we opened.”
