King’s Wark gets off to a flying start

King’s Wark, the Star Pubs & Bars pub taken over by PG Taverns earlier this year at The Shore in Leith, has doubled its turnover since the take-over. Explains boss Iain Pert,“When we took over we decided not to change the name, but we did give it a spruce up. We also improved the drinks offering by putting in a wide range of gin, and used a consultant chef Iain Sim to get the food back on track. We’ve gone down a Scottish route with the menu putting in pub favourites like fish and chips, but doing it really well. In the three months that we have had the pub we have doubled the turnover, which we didn’t really expect to do.”
