The family-run Wednesbury pub where all are welcome after major transformation
As pubs continue to battle the cost of living crisis, the Express & Star continues its Love Your Local series which celebrates our local inns.
The King George V in Wednesbury has undergone a £120,000 refurbishment as the pub launches its new Indo-fusion food menu, for which they have brought in a highly rated Nepalese chef.
The family-run pub which is located on Forge Road, hosted its soft-opening on Friday, June 23, and then their grand-opening two days ago where there was a live DJ, a night of live entertainment, canapés, and all round good vibes - which the family say they have brought to the establishment since taking over.
Rocky Singh owns the pub along with his family who all come together to help the running of the pub, including his parents and siblings.
Speaking about what it was like when the family, who have run pubs for over 20 years, took over in 2020, he says: "At first it was a typical lads pub, and we came in knowing we wanted to change the perception of the place, and we feel that we have achieved that now.
"Thought it was during the pandemic that we took over, we have put in so much work and effort to turn the business around, and now it has become a family-friendly environment, where we invite families and friends to come and enjoy our welcoming-place, where they can enjoy good food, good vibes and enjoy their experience which will want them to come back."
