A popular pub in Huntingdon re-opened on Wednesday November 8 following a £250,000 makeover.
The Samuel Pepys, on High Street, has undergone a complete internal and exterior transformation to give it a mew look.
Inside, the pub has undergone a complete interior redecoration and features a new bar, flooring, and furniture throughout.
Outside, the beer garden has been redeveloped, which includes new seating and cover to ensure use all year round.
Louise Crosbie, current operator of The Samuel Pepys, said: “Opening night was fantastic, it was amazing to see all our customers, old and new, coming to see what the pub has to offer.
“The feedback we received from our community was amazing, and we can’t wait to see them again soon.”

“On behalf of the Proper Pubs team, we would like to wish our community hero, Louise, every success for the future in making the Samuel Pepys a fantastic hub of the community”.
