The Chase has also been decorated with local sports memorabilia.

The pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts and even horse racing.

The new menu features items such as chicken wings and nachos alongside pub favourites from fish & chips to burgers.

Marston’s operations manager, Paul Miller, said: “We will have some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events, and we want as many local people to be featured on our walls as possible. We can’t wait to welcome all our regulars and some new faces in, to see the new and improved Chase.”
