The countdown is on for the reopening of a country pub, which is set to include a new restaurant.

The Castlefields pub in Clifford is to reopen on Friday, July 4, after having been closed for nearly two months.

In May, it was said that something "exciting" was happening, with the announcement revealing that it was set to reopen as a "pub/restaurant".

According to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), the pub includes a lounge bar complete with a pool table and an "extensive" adjacent restaurant area.

In 2022, applicants Ian and Carol Birch were given the go-ahead to revamp the "traditional" pub, with plans for a restaurant, tourist accommodation and a function facility for weddings, and a bridal dressing room.

According to the business, the head chef "prides himself" on using high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients.

Food is prepared in-house, with staff endeavouring for customers to be served with "fresh and homemade produce at all times".

They claim their bar acts as a "beacon" for beer and wine enthusiasts, with a selection of drinks, including locally produced cider.
