The Horniman at Hay’s, a historic pub nestled within the iconic Hay’s Galleria building, has undergone a transformation that blends the rich legacy of the past with contemporary design. Originally a 17th-century brewhouse, the building also once housed a tea dealer’s warehouse. The pub now stands as a tribute to both its past and its vibrant future.
Among its most notable features is the grand staircase that serves as a centrepiece, accompanied by marble countertops and an antique wall clock, adding a touch of elegance to the space. The pub’s bar areas have been reimagined with deep blue and maroon tones, complemented by freshly sanded wooden floors, creating a warmer and more inviting atmosphere.
The walls of The Horniman at Hay’s are adorned with artwork that reflects the building’s storied history in the tea trade, while the ironwork along the staircase and banisters has been carefully restored, preserving the venue’s vintage charm.
In keeping with its longstanding tradition, the pub continues to offer a selection of cask ales, including its own signature Nicholson’s Pale Ale, brewed by St Austell Brewery. Guests can also enjoy an expanded selection of craft beers, with rotating guest brews available throughout the year, providing an ever-evolving experience for visitors.
