"Building concerns" had been cited as the reason for an initial delay, whilst some planning details were still awaiting sign-off from St Albans City & District Council.

However, the McMullen & Sons pub has overcome these hurdles, and will open its doors this week.

In April, a spokesperson for McMullen & Sons confirmed that the establishment would be opening in June, and told The Herts Advertiser: "We have consulted with the various local authority teams to ensure that this beautiful, historic building is preserved whilst being brought back into use including with it’s private party room, cocktail lounge and central bar for those livelier evenings when the lights will go down and the music will go up.

"We are recruiting additional team members to join the family and work alongside those that have been training in our venues for some time.
