After a seven-figure investment, The Griffin, a Grade II-listed pub in Leeds city centre with roots in the golden age of Victorian railways, has reopened with a stunning transformation. Balancing its rich heritage with a fresh, contemporary layout, JackEvie supplied flooring that highlights the character and warmth of this iconic space.

The main areas feature Lowfield Lane planks from the Antique Collection, known for its brushed, worn, and dented surface that adds a rustic authenticity. The unique burnt edges of each plank emphasise the rich caramel tones and enhance the wood’s natural beauty, creating a sense of history underfoot. This mixed-width design flows seamlessly across the pub, grounding the vibrant decor with its organic texture. Against the backdrop of deep green walls, tufted seating, and festive accents, the burnt edges bring depth and contrast to the space, making the floor as visually striking as it is functional.

In adjacent areas, a bespoke herringbone floor continues the theme of rustic elegance. The intricate parquet pattern introduces definition and contrast, offering a refined counterpoint to the random width planks. Burnt edges on the herringbone blocks add a handcrafted feel, with the caramel hues and striking knots standing out beautifully against the warm lighting and dark wood furnishings.

Together, these flooring styles provide a cohesive yet dynamic foundation for The Griffin’s redesign, preserving the pub’s Victorian legacy while creating a welcoming space for modern visitors.
