Derbyshire firm Wildgoose Construction has completed a Derby pub and family dining facility which is due to open later this month.

The Ashover-based firm started work in April on the Blue Jay pub, at Derby Commercial Park in Raynesway, for brewer and pub operator Marston's.

The 250-cover Milestone Magnum Carvery is scheduled to open on October 17th 2011. 

Wildgoose was one of three contractors selected to build 60 new pubs for Marston's Inns and Taverns, the managed house arm of Marston's, by the end of 2012.

It is hoped that the Derby pub will create around 50 new jobs and become the main eatery for the 180-acre commercial park.

Wildgoose has also completed a pub in Mansfield and one in Nantwich, Cheshire, for Marston's as part of the deal.

Tim Walker, Wildgoose Construction's managing director, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Marston's on their programme of works to build new public houses and restaurants throughout the country. 

"Our company has long been associated with the licensed retails sector and has brought that experience to the Marston's projects, ensuring that the fast-track programmes are met and the quality of finish is exceptional.

"Marston's is both a leading name and brand within the industry and it is a testament to their brand strength that they are undertaking this investment and we are proud to be part of that success." 

Ed Hancock, Marston's Inns and Taverns estates director, said:  "We're extremely excited about our latest pub, which we hope will build a great reputation locally, offering top quality pub food and an unrivalled selection of drinks, including cask ales from our own breweries across the country."
