'They were already queueing at the doors!: Sports bar raises a glass on reopening night

Staff at The Elms at Shareshill, on Church Road, Shareshill, have welcomed back their loyal customers as they reopened the doors to their sports bar following a major overhaul.

The Elm at Shareshill reopened on Friday following a near-complete redesign of its sports section.

Guests are now able to take advantage of a new pool table, media screens, new tables and extra seating, as well as a new menu that focuses on hand-made and freshly-cooked meals.

Talking about the reopening, landlady Jane Hudson said: "It's been fantastic, we are really pleased with the way everything turned out and the customers absolutely love it.

"We have made a real effort to move away from the 'ping' of microwave meals and move towards more traditional home-cooked meals. People enjoyed our old menu, but our regulars absolutely love the new food."
