After weeks of rumours and hearsay, a Solihull business duo confirmed they have taken over the pub dubbed a 'Brummie landmark' and will be pulling pints for Villa fans this Saturday.It will then be open to the public ahead of a grand opening with all the 'bells and whistles' in the near future. They plan to serve a range of cuisines and give tours of the famed building.Angela Nelson, who is behind the new Bartons Arms, said they only managed to get inside the pub this week and are tremendously busy getting it ready.She said: "We are doing a very quick opening this weekend for the fans. The kitchen is being refitted and we will be doing Thai, Afro Caribbean and English."It will be open to the public going forward but we will have a grand launch. "The imposing redbrick Grade 11 listed building was built in 1901 and is regarded as one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in the country. It has retained many of it's original features such as stained glass, elaborate tiling and engraved mirrors.A host of famous figures have enjoyed a drink there including Charlie Chaplin, Bad English and Laurel and Hardy, when they performed in the city.The pub suddenly closed in February 1, after the current leaseholder claimed mounting heating, lighting and employment costs meant the business was 'no longer viable'.
