Outside. an overhaul of the colour scheme of the pub sees a new cream and blue look to the entrance and a revamp of the beer garden, which has been given a new lease of life with a pagoda area, heat lamps fitted and two additional TVs added.

Additional beers such as Carlsberg and Birra Moretti have also been added to the range of drinks available.

Adrian McKeever, who has run the Golden Cross for two years. said: “I’m excited to reopen the pub and welcome back guests following the refurb.

"It looks amazing inside and out, with the new colour scheme and outdoor improvements just in time for summer.

"We have a good bunch of loyal customers here in Wednesbury and I'm sure they will appreciate the work that has been done."
