A Hampshire country pub will reopen tomorrow after a month-long refurbishment.

The Brickmakers in Swanmore will welcome customers again on Tuesday, September 1.

The reopening follows a month-long refurbishment and a change of management.

New landlords Liam, Brooke and Cathy took over the pub in July.

As previously reported, the three friends and business partners have more than 60 years combined experience in pubs, bars, restaurants and kitchens.

The new landlords said: "We’re excited to introduce ourselves as the new team behind The Brickmakers in Swanmore.

"We’re busy behind the scenes giving the pub a refresh and can’t wait to open the doors, meet the local community and create a place for everyone to enjoy.

"Thank you for all the support so far — we’re looking forward to welcoming you soon."

Koren and Gareth Blake, who were at the helm for 15 years, ran the pub before closing it in June, and ran The Brickmakers as a family-run free house known for its community events.

The refurbishment will transform the pub’s interior and exterior, kitchen and garden.
