Today the Bittern Pub officially reopens after a major refurbishment costing Punch Taverns £400,000. The pub has had its challenges, most recently when it looked like it was going to be sold to McDonald’s, but thanks to a great campaign from local people the fast food giant failed to achieve the planning approval it needed. 
 
The pub reopens under the expert guidance of Glen and Hayley and looks set to begin a successful new chapter as a family pub with great beer, food and sports. 
 
I was pleased to join Glen, Hayley and Martyn Clark, Partnership Development Manager from Punch Taverns, to pull a pint in celebration of the reopening of this much loved local. 
 
I wish everyone involved the best of luck and look toward to visiting again in the not too distant future.
