Family-friendly pub to unveil new look this autumn
A pub in Leigh Park will close temporarily next week as it undergoes a six-figure refurbishment.
The Heron on Petersfield Road will close on Monday, September 14 as it goes a revamp before opening again in October with a new look. When it reopens it will have an interior refresh with updated furniture, lighting and décor, plus a new sports area with darts, pool and upgraded TVs showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports.


A spokesperson for Hungry Horse said: “Key features of the investment include a full interior refresh with comfortable new furniture, modern lighting and stylish décor, as well as the creation of a more open-plan layout to ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere for friends and families to enjoy. The Heron will also introduce a new sports area with darts, pool and upgraded TVs showing the latest live fixtures on Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
“Following its official reopening, The Heron is set to introduce a fantastic events programme including rock ‘n’ roll bingo, weekly quiz nights and monthly entertainment for all the family. Guests can browse menus and book ahead ready for reopening via the Greene King app.”
Ahead of the opening, The Heron is currently recruiting for new team members. Details on the roles available and how to apply can be found at: https://jobs.greeneking.co.uk/heron-havant-jobs.
