New jobs thanks to pub refurbishment

The Burrell, on Pollokshaws Road, has temporarily closed its doors to customers as the renovation by national pub company, Punch, gets underway. It will re-open early next month as The Boyd Roderick.

The work involves extensive redecoration throughout and changes to the layout, including an extension of the kitchen. A total of 20 new jobs will be created as part of the investment.

The new-look Boyd Roderick will be operated by Campbell Dickson and Calum Gillies of Caledonian Skye Ltd, which already runs a number of successful outlets including the Caledonian Café and the Portree Hotel on the Isle of Skye.

Manager Kevin Murphy said: “The Boyd Roderick has always had lots of potential and this investment will allow us to transform it in to a stylish pub, serving a range of freshly prepared Scottish produce alongside a selection of quality beers and wines.”
