First images revealed of much-loved Stafford pub following exciting refurbishment

The Knot and Plough in Stafford has become one of the first Marston’s pubs to reopen as a ‘Woodie’s’, with a new family-focused offer to provide shared good times for all the family.

An exciting refurbishment has seen the much-loved community pub transformed with a new bar and designated dining areas for locals and new guests to enjoy a relaxed drink or meal, as well as new furniture and cosy décor, to make customers feel at home.

The much-loved community pub also now features Woodie’s Den, a magical woodland-themed area where kids will be able to let their imaginations run wild, with games, activities, and special events. Kid’s discos will be held in Woodie’s Den every Friday night from 4-6pm, with craft sessions also taking place every Saturday from 12-2pm.

When the sun is shining, children can explore the garden and let loose in the outdoor play area, while their parents relax nearby with a meal or drink in hand.

The Knot and Plough reopened its doors last week, with Jim Thomas, Head Coach of Stafford Rangers FC Under 8’s team, joining General Manager Clare Edwards in pouring the first pint.

The Knot and Plough has just started sponsoring the Under 8’s team and Jim was joined by a few players, who cut the ribbon to officially open the pub.

To ensure that locals could feel part of the fabric of Woodie’s from the outset, The Knot and Plough offered local guests a ‘Pint for Your Past’ - giving away free pints in exchange for local stories and memories of the pub, which featured on a memory wall over the opening weekend.

Alongside a menu of pub classics, The Knot and Plough will serve Marston’s award-winning kids’ menu and is home to the fantastical Woodie’s Sweet Factory, a self-serve bar where kids can swap magic tokens for treats to top their Woodie’s Sweet Factory Sundae. The Knot and Plough is also offering a ‘Kids Eat for £1’ deal on Monday-Friday throughout the summer holidays, with kids also able to eat for free every Wednesday, giving families affordable options for enjoying a meal out during the school holidays.

Clare Edwards, General Manager at The Knot and Plough, said: “We’re so excited to be able to welcome all of our locals back to The Knot and Plough, in fact lots of them have popped in this week already and celebrations continued over the weekend. It was an honour to be joined by some of the lads from Stafford Rangers FC’s Under 8’s team, for our official opening and we want to encourage as many people to come and see what we’ve done to the place as possible, the more the merrier!”
