A POPULAR Hampshire pub is set to reopen its doors after a large-scale refurbishment - and here's what it looks like.

The Fisher’s Pond in Main Road, Colden Common has been shut for over a month while work took place to transform the traditional country taproom.

Staff are now readying themselves for the big relaunch, with the pub due to officially open to guests from Friday, March 25.

Changes include the introduction of a “stylish” private dining area, a new garden and fresh interiors. Along with a new look, the relaunched Fisher’s Pond has also introduced an all-new food offering.

In addition to lunch and dinner, the pub will now offer a brunch menu which boasts a selection of popular dishes from 9am until midday Monday to Saturday and 11.30am on Sundays.

The dinner menu has also had a revamp and will see the pub serve up freshly cooked dishes including chargrilled skewers, stone baked pizzas, steaks and roasts.
