A Lichfield city centre pub is set to reopen.
WTS Property Consultants confirmed The Crown had been acquired by Heartwood Collection.
The company, which specialises in “cosy pubs and atmospheric brasseries”, will reopen the Tamworth Street site as their 23rd Heartwood Inn.
Richard Tole, director at WTS Property Consultants brokered the deal. He said:
“I am delighted to have acquired this property off market on behalf of Heartwood Collection and I have no doubt that their team will do an excellent job transforming the building which has been vacant for some time.
“I am very much look forward to visiting the pub as a customer when it re-opens.”

To be honest I am glad its being filled as there are too many empty units as is in Lichfield but another eatery not like Lichfield needs anymore. Looking at the site for Heartwood Inns, they seem more expensive than the others.
I think it’ll be a decent, high quality addition and I welcome it.
There’s plenty of people with money to spend in this level of outlet in Lichfield; you can’t get into the Michelin starred place for months !
Sounds very much like an over expensive eatery.
Why can’t somebody open another place just serving good wholesome cheaper food?
Having looked at the other pubs they run, they seem to develop buildings tastefully and I think this will be a welcome addition to Lichfield. It is currently an eyesore in the centre of the city so a place with quality options will be great. There are lots of budget options in the city so it will be nice to have a cozy pub with quality food.
@T’s and C’s Apply You mean like a Weatherspoon’s? Oh wait… Ok, maybe that misses on the wholesome and probably good as well, but you get my drift. There are already plenty of options that already exist like you suggest. I just think you would prefer it to remain an eyesore and empty. Why not give it a chance even if you don’t frequent it yourself?
Bringing back said pub premises from the dead at all is far better than it simply being left lying idle for an eternity and inadvertently lowering the tone of Tamworth Street even further by becoming a magnet for vandals, fly-posters, graffitists, etc.
