A PUB in Poole will reopen today, Friday, October 25, following a £850,000 refurbishment.

The Lord Wimborne pub, in Lagland Street, will unveil its new look at 8am with 10 new and part time jobs created.

The pub, which first opened as a Wetherspoon in May 2002, has been refurbished and upgrade work undertaken.

This is in addition to the new kitchen and open gantry completed in August.

Pub manager Kevin Young said: “The Lord Wimborne has been a community pub in Poole for more than 20 years.

“This refurbishment work highlights Wetherspoon’s continued investment in the area, as well as the company’s commitment to its staff and customers, offering the best possible facilities.

“The team are looking forward to welcoming customers back into The Lord Wimborne and we’re confident that they will be pleased with the improvements.”

 The pub has undergone a full redecoration throughout, as well as the installation of new carpet and additional furniture.

An additional coffee machine has been installed, as well as new drinks equipment on the bar, for speed of service.

A full refurbishment of the male, female and accessible toilets has also taken place.

Behind-the-scenes staff facilities have also been added.

The watering hole will be open from 8am until 12midnight Sunday to Thursday, and 8am until 1am Friday and Saturday. 

Food will be served throughout the day, from opening until 11pm every day.

 The pub will be open for family dining, with children, accompanied by an adult, welcome in the pub until 9pm, throughout the week.
