A Gosport pub has reopened following a six-figure refurbishment that has transformed and modernised the venue.
The Cocked Hat, on Privett Roa, reopened on Wednesday after being closed for a month-long refurbishment.
Inside, the pub has received a substantial makeover, including new décor and furnishings throughout while expanding the capacity by more than 20 covers.
A new private function space, equipped with a TV, is now available for those wanting to book meetings or events.
The pub’s beer garden has seen the addition of new festoon lighting and an expanded layout, which has nearly doubled the current number of outdoor covers.
For football fans, a brand-new TV is set to be installed in the beer garden in May so drinkers will be able to enjoy all the action from the Euros this summer.

The Cocked Hat is serving Flaming Grill’s new summer menu, offering customers the chance to enjoy a variety of new additions to the menu.
Bringing meals perfect to be enjoyed with a pint, the new menu includes Tikka Tandoori Skillet and The Southern State Spice Signature Burger, as well as an extensive drinks menu.
The pub is just a short drive from Stokes Bay, making it the perfect place to attend after a day at the seaside, or those visiting the town of Gosport.
Jamie Skeen, General Manager, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome back our customers, and just in time for the warmer weather.
“These renovations have really given the place a fresh look and feel which we’ve no doubt our customers will enjoy.
“That’s not all though, our exciting new menu has something for everyone, whether that’s families looking for a delicious meal out or friends heading to the pub for a drink to enjoy a summer of sport not to be missed.”
