A MUCH-loved family pub has reopened its doors after closing for a huge makeover.
The Bellemoor in Shirley was completely transformed before opening again on Saturday.
Although the exact cost has been kept a secret, Greene King said it was a six-figure refurb.
The family pub was completely re-done to be able to cater for more customers.
The pub says it offers lively Friday and Saturday evenings for people wanting a great night outside of the city.
And the new layout boasts a brand-new sports area with four new TV screens, in time for the World Cup this winter.
There are also new changes to the food and drink menus.
New lagers on offer include Greene King Flint Eye and Level Head IPA, and Madres and Birra Moretti.
The refurb also included a new cocktail station, offering old and new classics like an Old Fashioned, Mojito or Aperol Spritz.
The menu has also had a refresh with new brunches, including a full English, avocado on toast, and bacon sandwiches.
The outdoor space has also been transformed to include a new heated pergola area and a second outdoor dining area, which can be reserved for events.
There are also new bike racks for cyclists needing refreshments in a visit to the Common.
The pub will continue to run its poker and quiz nights in support of Macmillan on Monday and Tuesday.
Steve Hurley, general manager of the pub, said: “The team is so excited to welcome back all our regulars and new visitors to enjoy our brand new setting at the Bellemoor – which can now welcome even more of our community.
“There is something for everyone to enjoy, from our brand new sports area, which will be showing all the latest sports, including the World Cup, to a range of new and improved food and drinks to try.
“We can’t wait to show everyone our new look, so do come and visit the pub to experience it for yourself.”
The pub, on Hill Lane, is next to the Common.
It hosts a range of activities and events, including live music and the opportunity to get your portrait drawn by a caricaturist.
