Today the Sevenstones is run by Geoff and Julia Metcalf, they purchased the pub in the winter of 1999 - 2000 and have since started a major program of refurbishmen which should be completed in the spring of 2000, in time for the summer season. This refurbishment includes a large mural by local island artisit Mandy Mills depicting the logo of the pub - the Sevenstones lightship, and also rennovation of the bar and seating areas. Much of the wood used in the refurbishment is wreck wood which has been washed up on the beaches and recovered by the islanders.
The work on the pub is also extented to the outdoors with the enlargement of the gardens and outdoor seating areas with the intention of holding BBQ nights on selected evenings in summer and in addition to this it is hoped that throughout the summer there will be many visiting island and mainland bands.
The gardens themselves, though not yet mature are in true Scillonian style and extend over the hillside offering stunning panoramic views of the other islands and St. Martins flats, and provide a perfect setting to enjoy the pubs home cooked food which is available throughout the year - see menu - often with daily specials, there is also a wide range of drinks including real ales
