See this Drayton pub's new look after a six-figure refurbishment

The Manor House, in 43 Court Lane, closed for a week to undergo the extensive work, re-opening on Wednesday February 26.

The Greene King-owned pub has been given a lighter colour scheme, with tiled walls, updated furniture and ‘contemporary’ flooring.

The bar has also been completely refurbished, with the introduction of a wider selection of local and national ales, plus world beers.

Pub-goers can also enjoy an updated beer garden, which includes new lighting and more seating.

Brendan Waller, general manager at the Manor House, said: ‘The Manor House is at the heart of the Portsmouth community, so we are excited to be able to offer a place where locals can enjoy a drink or meal in enhanced surroundings.

‘The opening was a real success, with great feedback from guests on the delicious menu and fantastic interior.

‘We look forward to welcoming more guests in the coming weeks.’

The pub’s kitchen offers a range of public classics including hunter’s chicken and steak & ale pie.

Drinks include a range across the Greene King line, including Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen, Abbot Ale and Belhaven Best.

Greene King operates more than 2,750 pubs, restaurants and hotels across England, Wales and Scotland, including 1,050 tenanted, leased and franchised pubs.
