The Watermill, which is based on Park Lane near to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal, will close on July 24 with a planned reopening of August 7.

Following the make-over, the pub – which was the last working forge in Kidderminster until 1979 – will reopen with a varied menu of pub favourites such as steak and ale pie served with chips, garden peas and gravy.

And running alongside the classics will be some new additions, including loaded fries, which will accompany classic lagers on draught, cask ales and a variety of cocktails and gin and tonics.

Drawn up plans show what the pub will look like when the refurbishment is complete
