New development creating more jobs for Chesterfield
A new family pub and restaurant development is to open at the Markham Vale regeneration site in Chesterfield.
Named The Little Castle, the new eatery is expected to open by December and will bring 40 jobs to the town.
Run by Marston’s Inns and Taverns, which provides pubs throughout the UK, The Little Castle will be located next to McDonald’s and will offer an extensive food menu, including a Sunday carvery and weekend breakfast buffet.
Councillor Joan Dixon, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Marston’s Inns and Taverns to Markham Vale and the employment opportunities it brings.
“Markham Vale is playing an important part in our vision to build a strong Derbyshire economy that creates jobs and we look forward to welcoming many more businesses to the site in the future.
“Working with development partner, Henry Boot Developments Limited, we have helped to attract 28 businesses to the site to date and create 565 jobs.
“We have invested £77 million to reclaim the former mining area at Markham, between Chesterfield and Bolsover, with the long-term aim of creating 5,000 jobs.
Rachel Newnes, from Marston’s Inns and Taverns said: “We are extremely excited about our latest pub which we hope will build a great reputation locally, and we are hoping to welcome the community through the doors in time for Christmas.”
