Inside, The Travellers Rest, part of Proper Pubs has been completely refreshed to breathe a new lease of life into the pub and create a vibrant, welcoming space across its separate lounge and games areas.
The investment has resulted in a full internal refurbishment with brand new flooring, fixtures, fittings and furniture, alongside an enhanced audio-visual system complete with several flat screen televisions featuring Sky Sports, TNT Sports and horse racing channels.
A new dedicated karaoke wall has also been installed, along with a pool table and two state of the art virtual darts boards in the games room for customers to enjoy.
Outside, guests are greeted with new lighting and signage, as well as additional external seating at the front of the pub and an upgraded garden area to the rear of the venue with brand new wooden benches that seat a total of 80 people.
To celebrate the reopening last Thursday, the pub hosted a champagne reception and buffet followed by a live performance from Andy and Tracey Lewin from the band ‘Face the Strange’.
Simon Davies, operator of The Travellers Rest, said: “We’re thrilled to have reopened the doors and the response from the community has been incredible.
"Thanks to the refurbishment, we’ve been able to create a fantastic hub where people can come together to enjoy brilliant live sport and entertainment.
"We’re extremely grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey, including the team at Proper Pubs, and we’re excited for all that’s to come.”
Moving forward, the pub will host regular entertainment to bring the community together including Monday live music clubs, weekly bingo, quiz and pool nights as well as karaoke and live music every weekend.
It will also be collecting food to donate to the local food bank and will be raising money for MacMillan in honour of a close friend currently battling cancer.
