Willenhall pub flags up its new look

A popular pub in Willenhall has been given a facelift following a £90,000 investment.

The bar has been extended and lounge refurbished at the Poets Corner in Keats Road.

New pumps have been added and the toilets revamped as part of the improvements carried out over the last six weeks.

The Cross of St George has been painted on the side of the boozer which is looking to create restaurant facilities later in the year.

The finishing touches are now being put to the pub, which employs five people. It has managed to remain open to punters throughout the project.

Premises licence holder Riccardo Sterling said money has been raised to help cover the costs of the package of improvements.

The 47 year-old said: "We wanted to give it a makeover and give something back to the community. People can come in and relax in a nice clean environment."

Mr Sterling added: "We managed to save a bit of money up for the work. The pub is a focal point of the community."
