UK-based pub company Stonegate Group has announced the reopening of The Hare and Hounds pub in St Albans after an extensive refurbishment project.

The pub, which was closed in August this year, has been refurbished with a six-figure investment.

The venue now features a brand-new ceiling, refurbished floors, fresh paint and modernised furnishings.

Additionally, the pub will now offer private bookings for special occasions.

While preserving its original character, the pub now features an upgraded bar with new additions such as Guinness, Amstel and Moretti.

Guest will also be offered a brand-new food menu over the next few weeks.

The new menu includes a wide array of options, ranging from burgers and pasta to steak and seafood.

The Hare and Hounds publican Paul said: “I am so thrilled to have the pub back open. It’s a local favourite and we can’t wait to reestablish our presence within the community.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our incredible new-look pub to come and try our new offerings. We are also very grateful for the support Stonegate Group has given to us and I’m excited to see what the future brings for the pub.”

In August this year, Stonegate Group announced that it will reopen the refurbished The Old City Arms pub in Hammersmith on 18 August 2023.

Located next to Hammersmith Bridge, the pub was overhauled with Stonegate’s six-figure investment.
