A DUDLEY pub has reopened following a huge £125k investment.
The Forge on Chase Road was closed for around two weeks and reopened on May 1 with a new look.
The pub’s refresh has seen the introduction of new wallpaper, lighting, seating, a new colour scheme and an updated bar area.
Staff have also received updated team training.
Theresa Babic, general manager of the Forge said: “We are so excited to open the doors of The Forge and to show our guests the result of our refresh.
"We have invested over £125k into breathing new life into the venue can't wait to welcome everybody back.”
The Forge, which is part of the Marston’s pubs collection, is described as having a ‘traditional cosy pub’ feel and has an outdoor patio dining area and a child’s play park.
Shaz Saleem, founder of the Saleem Foundation Charity was chosen as the pub’s community hero to pour the first pint in celebration of the pub’s reopening.
Offering a varied menu of pub favourites such as steak and ale pie along with new additions such as loaded fries, customers can also enjoy a Sunday Roast each week.
