Popular Wolverhampton pub reopens to public after extensive six-figure investment

The Gatehouse, a popular pub in Wolverhampton, has reopened its doors to the public following a six-figure investment. 

The Hungry Horse pub on Donington Grove officially reopened on Friday, November 28 to welcome locals and tourists to experience its new and improved look.

Key features of the investment include an upgraded interior layout with a spacious, open-plan restaurant area, stylish décor and comfortable furniture to create elevated dining experiences for groups of all sizes. 

The Gatehouse has also introduced a new self-serve coffee machine, serving hot drinks and free refills throughout the day. 

The pub offers full table service via the Greene King app, giving customers the opportunity to order food and drinks and make bookings at the click of a button.

Outside, children can make the most of a new outdoor play area, and the garden has been improved with new furniture and warm lighting to create a welcoming space for families to come together.  

Additional TV screens and an upgraded sound system have been installed to provide top-quality entertainment via Sky Sports and TNT Sports throughout the week, while a brand-new dart board has also been introduced.

Following its official reopening, guests can experience the Gatehouse’s new food and drinks menus, with signature dishes including the K-BBQ Burger, Chicken Parmigiana and a Full Monty Mixed Grill alongside seasonal desserts such a Baileys™ Caramel Profiterole Sharer and Lemon Meringue Pie. 

The pub also offers a varied breakfast menu on weekends, with items ranging from a Big Brekkie Roll to a Frozen Smoothie Bowl. 

Speaking after the opening, Lorraine Lloyd-Allen, general manager at the Gatehouse, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming our wonderful customers back following an exciting transformation this month. 

"The pub is well-loved by many in the local area, and we have renewed our offering to ensure the Gatehouse is the ideal spot for families, friends and sports enthusiasts to come in, relax and enjoy great quality food, drinks and entertainment all in one place.  

“Having reopened just in time for the busy festive season, we’ve got a whole host of activities planned throughout December for families to look forward to, including children’s Breakfast with Santa mornings.
