3. “Brilliant” changes
Chris said: “We’ve been open for 11 years now, so we decided it was the right time to do a refurbishment. It’s been quite a project - it’s brilliant what we’ve done. We’ve made a few changes with a quick turnaround and it looks absolutely fantastic.” Photo: Brian Eyre
4. Bar, lounge and restaurant
Chris said: “We’ve changed the appearance of the bar and we’ve done a little bit of work down in the lounge. We’ve made massive changes in the restaurant to make it nice and cosy. We’ve uplifted it a little bit, so it’s got a little bit of class to it as well.” Photo: Brian Eyre
