A pub is creating five new jobs after a £180,000 make-over.

The Flying Saucer, in Hempstead Road, Gillingham, will close temporarily from today (Monday) to begin an extensive refurbishment that will see it reopen on Friday, December 12.

Owned by the Spirit Pub Company, it promises a modern decor and some new signature pieces of furniture.

The bar will be revamped, as will the menu, which will include wild boar burger, steak and ale pie and Korean spiced salad.

The pub is seeking to recruit five new full and part-time staff to work in the bar and in the kitchen.
