The refurbishment includes completely redoing the restaurant, improving seating areas, a better sports bar, more tables, an improved outdoor area, and a completely different layout.

They also plan to make the pub more community and family-focused and aim to have a really good entertainment programme with discos, bingo, karaoke nights, quiz nights, and live music.

The general manager also wants the pub to be the number one hotspot for televised sport.

Terry Reilly, the new general manager, said: "I'm really excited about this and it is really up my street with the entertainment.

"It's more than just a pub and restaurant, it's where everyone can come and be themselves.

"It's a home away from home.

"It's very exciting as there will always be something going on."

He added: "To all my customers, the best comes to those who wait.

"It will be a fresh start.

"This will give the community what they want and make it exciting for them.

"Also, with the layout, it will give space for a lot more people to make larger bookings.

"The live music will also bring good vibes.

"I'm looking for good musicians or anything people could do in the show and people who want to contribute to fundraising."
