A THEALE pub has a bright new look following an extensive refurbishment.
The Fox and Hounds on Dean Copse Road now boasts wood-panelled walls in hues of green and dark grey, statement wallpaper, glass and rattan light fittings, botanical artwork, mirrors and plenty of greenery.
There are William Morris-inspired upholstered dining chairs, banquette seating and mid-century lounge chairs to ensure guests can have a comfortable – and smart – seat while enjoying a beer or two.
And it’s not just the interior that has had a makeover.
The Butcombe Pubs & Inns-run venue has introduced a new autumn menu, with a focus on locally-sourced produce and seasonal ingredients.
The menus and daily specials also feature Butcombe ales where possible – such as Butcombe Gold beer-battered fish and chips.
Behind the bar, there is a selection of wine and cocktails, craft beer, and real ale and cider from Butcombe’s award-winning brewery.
Chris Dickinson, the pub’s general manager, is thrilled with the result.
“The pub looks amazing,” he said.
“We’re incredibly proud of the new look and we can’t wait to show it off to locals and visitors.
“Despite the big changes the integrity of this beautiful building remains intact, as does our award-winning food and drink offering, which we’re sure our guests are going to love, especially as we head towards Christmas, we’re the perfect venue for festive meals and get-togethers.”
