Manager of pub closed for significant refurb says work is coming along fast and plans look 'amazing'

The Shire Horse in Stafford has temporarily closed its doors for a makeover which is costing six figures.

Pub manager Darren McCracken has praised workers carrying out the refurb saying they are doing an 'amazing job'.

He reassured customers that the pub on Hurricane Close would be keeping its original and cosy feel and claimed the makeover would not disappoint.

The popular Chef & Brewer site is set to reopen its doors to customers in March.
