What a way to brighten up a dreary Thursday morning!

The lovely Meredith McCarthy popped in to collaborate with us, bringing along her spectacular collection of paintings to showcase across Three Trees Cafe & The Duke Bar & Restaurant

We absolutely love collaborating with talented locals and also just lovely people in our community. These magnificent pieces are now hanging beautifully in both venues, waiting to find their perfect new home.

So why not pop in for a wine, a beer, a bite to eat and a wander through Meredith’s beautiful artwork all while enjoying our newly renovated The Duke at Aston Norwood.

We love a good collab, and even more so when it’s about supporting local talent. ❤️

And just like that… the dust is settling, the toolkit is being slowly packed away, and the magic is starting to shine through.

In just over 3.5 weeks, we’ve taken the Aston Norwood Gatsby Room and given it a whole new life transforming it into The Duke Bar & Restaurant.

There’s been plenty of hard work, many late nights, lots of laughs, and probably more cups of coffee than we’d like to admit… but watching it all come together has been pretty special. 🥂

Now the tables ready to be dressed, the finishing touches are getting into place, and we’re almost ready to throw open the doors for our very first function this Sunday!

We’ve poured a whole lot of love into this little place, and we can’t wait to fill it with good food, great company, laughter, celebrations and plenty of unforgettable memories.

Our Brac and Bow ethos still stands strong. A place for people to come together to enjoy good food and local service.

Watch this space for opening hours, special events and our dining restaurant menu….

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home ❤️
