A PUB on a Bolton estate is thriving after reopening following an investment of £200,000.

The Beaumont Arms in Armadale Road, Ladybridge, has been revamped thanks to a cash boost by new licensees Inglenook Inns and Taverns in partnership with owners Punch Taverns.

Music and entertainment for the reopening event was provided by Bolton FM and more than 200 local residents turned up to pub which had been closed for five weeks while the extensive refurbishment was carried out.

Inglenook Inns director James Waddington said: “I am truly delighted at the response. We couldn’t have asked for more. The pub looks fantastic and I can’t believe the transformation.”

The plan is to introduce cask ales to the pub as well as a new food menu featuring homemade pub classics, including a traditional Sunday roast.

“We will also be launching our ‘chip-inn’ scheme, where every time a portion of chips is ordered, 25p goes to the local primary school,” Mr Waddington added.

The Beaumont is being managed by Karen Fitzmaurice.
