The Cleveland Arms on Stowheath Lane in Moseley Village is expected to undergo a £1.5million transformation this year and reopen in September 'with Toby Carvery branding'. 

The well-loved sports bar is currently run by Sizzling Pub and Grill - a company owned by restaurant giant Mitchells & Butlers

A spokesperson for Toby Carvery said they will offer current staff the opportunity to stay on, and that their plan was to 'always remain a community pub'.
