A VILLAGE pub is set to be refurbished after a £160,000 investment.

The Crown in Wychbold is due to receive a new look with the pub set to close on Monday, May 15 and will reopen on Monday, May 29.

The dog-friendly pub, which recently welcomed a new general manager, will reopen with a new varied menu.

The new look is set to elevate the pub’s interior to suit all occasions, plus an installation of a new darts board and updated pool table.

Keiran McAteer, new general manager said, “We are so excited to announce that the Crown will be receiving a refresh and that £160k has been invested into breathing new life into the pub.

The Crown also operates as a 15-room hotel.

The pub is part of the Marstons group, which has over 1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland and Wales.

Marstons’ sites include traditional local pubs and family-friendly pubs.
