Popular Wordsley pub reopens after £260k makeover
A WORDSLEY pub has reopened after a £260k makeover.
The Glassworks pub reopened its doors to customers on Thursday February 6 having been closed since January 13 for improvement works to take place.
Following the revamp, the popular Marston's pub in Camp Hill introduces the 'Two Door Pub' concept - offering a refreshed locals bar area with 4K big-screen TVs, Sky Sports, TNT and a pool table – and a dedicated warm and welcoming family lounge, with a central partition separating the spaces.
The interior décor has also been given a lift with new wallpaper, stylish lighting, new seating, and new colour tones.
The new-look pub, which is dog-friendly and has a large beer garden, also has a function room for any occasion.
Brierley Hill boxing coach Kevin Dillion, who started the Black Country Blokes podcast in 2019 to help highlight men's mental health issues, was chosen as the pub's community hero to pull the first pint in celebration of the re-opening.
Kevin said: 'Community is so important when it comes to mental health. Talking is the key. Whether it's down at the pub or at the gym, find a like-minded soul who you can talk and listen to; that conversation might just save someone's life.'
General manager John Griffiths was excited to showcase the pub's 'amazing refresh'.
He said: 'With the inclusion of new TV's and sports channels, we hope our customers join us to enjoy this year's big summer of sports. We have invested a huge £260k into breathing new life into the venue and can't wait to welcome our loyal customers back.'
