The new pub will feature two distinct areas – a locals' bar and a family lounge, designed around the needs of families.

Marston’s said: “A central partition will create distinct spaces within the pub, allowing guests to enjoy everything they love under one roof while ensuring there is a place where everyone feels they truly belong.

“The renovation will introduce a dedicated family lounge, thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of all ages and provide a welcoming space for the whole family.

"Alongside this, guests can also enjoy a mouthwatering menu packed with comforting pub favourites, and the pub’s dedicated pizza kitchen will remain open post-refurb.

"The much-loved kids’ menu will also return, featuring smaller portions of pub favourites for children over five, as well as a fun ‘build-your-own’ option for under-fives.

"The renovation will also see the creation of a brand-new bar area, designed as a welcoming space for locals to enjoy a pint and a bite to eat.

"Serving as the perfect spot to celebrate unmissable moments at the heart of the community, the bar area will now be showing all football fixtures, offering guests an elevated experience while retaining the pub’s warm and friendly atmosphere.”

Once the pub reopens its doors, guests will still be able to enjoy popular offers that are set to remain, such as all day on a Monday, guests can grab a pizza and drink for £12.75 or upgrade to a premium pizza for an extra £1.

Locals will also still be able to take part in the popular Thursday night quiz, with new quizzers welcome in the refurbished space.

Sue Maxwell, general manager at the pub, said:"We’re thrilled to share the news about the transformation of Tuck & Tanner, creating a welcoming space for our community to enjoy for any occasion.

"From grabbing a quick drink at the bar to catching up with friends, or savouring a family meal together, there’s truly something for everyone.”
