Louise added: “The pub needed some love, and the investment has done just that, it looks fantastic, welcoming and inviting.

“We want the community to know that this isn’t going to be a traditional drinkers' pub, we want to put a whole new spin on the Havelock. It’s family-inclusive, dog-friendly and offers something for everyone.”
