The Lord Wimborne in Poole reopens today (Friday) following an £850,000 refurbishment.
The pub has undergone a full redecoration throughout, including new furniture, an additional coffee machine and a complete overhaul of the toilets.
Behind-the-scenes staff facilities have also been added to accommodate 10 new jobs.
And as a Wetherspoons venue, it’s been decked out with one of the operator’s signature bespoke carpets, incorporating aspects of the local area.
The pattern features elements of the building’s facade and a nod to the clock at Poole Guildhall, as well as clam and cockle shells in honour of the town’s fishing history.
Pub manager Kevin Young said: “The Lord Wimborne has been a community pub in Poole for more than 20 years.
“This refurbishment work highlights Wetherspoons’ continued investment in the area, as well as the company’s commitment to its staff and customers.
“The team are looking forward to welcoming customers back, and we’re confident that they’ll be pleased with the improvements.”
