A popular village pub has reopened after a huge refurbishment.

The Park Gate Inn, situated in Ashford Road, Hollingbourne, near Maidstone, has recently started welcoming back customers following an extensive remodel.

The pub located right next to Leeds Castle has had a rustic overhaul and has a new extensive menu.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the venue all year round with an outdoor dining area for the summer months and cozy fireplaces for the colder seasons.

There is even a dog friendly area inside the pub for punters to bring their pets for a pint.

Stuart Buzza, landlord of The Park Gate Inn, said: "We wanted the new look to provide guests with a cosy pub where they can enjoy dinner, have a few drinks after their busy day or simply to relax with their four-legged friends and read the Sunday paper.

“The Park Gate Inn has been part of the Hollingbourne community for many years and the building itself is full of local history. Many of its period features are still present, with exposed beams and three open fireplaces creating a warm inviting interior and we hope that added features such as the new cosy snug area will also be loved by all of our guests, both regulars and first-timers.”
