The pub has had a full makeover internally and externally with new seating, lighting, and furniture.

It has also introduced a brand-new cocktail-making station at the bar.

An extension has been introduced in the garden of the pub with 30 additional covers and new TVs.

Artur Janiak, General Manager of the Bear & Ragged Staff said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming back our regulars and showing them our brand-new look.

“We’re popular in the local area for our live music, and with the addition of our new cocktail station there’s now even more reason to head down and celebrate with us.”
