Our latest project in the UK is a very exciting one! Our team are on site this week fitting out and putting the finishing touches to Southport’s newest bar – Punch Tarmey’s.
The concept of Punch Tarmey’s is truly a special one and we have been working with the team behind Punch Tarmey’s for the past few months developing a classical pub which will satisfy today’s customers. The concept takes the very best of old pub culture and integrates it with today’s trends.

Working with our client, Andrew, we have developed a concept based on his great grandfather who was a famous fighter from Ireland – Punch Tarmey.

“My great grandfather grew up in Ireland. He was from a very poor family and in those days when it was a widely accepted sport, he was a bare knuckle fighter in Dublin. He won a fighting tournament and the prize was two tickets to sail to Liverpool, and the equivalent of about £250 in today’s money. Him and his 18 year old wife headed to Merseyside to start a new life.

His life in England was spent between working down the coal pits and bare knuckle fighting. He won many tournaments and became a famous fighter – so much so that he became known as ‘Punch Tarmey’.

“I am very excited to be opening Punch Tarmey’s as part of my development portfolio. It means a lot to me to be able to integrate my family history and such an interesting story of my great grandfather, into an amazing pub.”

Speaking about working with the Irish Pub Company. Andrew said:

“I wanted to bring to Southport the best pub I could and I searched widely for the best company for the job.
