The Weoley Castle in Birmingham has undergone a full interior refurbishment from owners Stonegate, with the previous brick bar being knocked down and replaced with a traditional modernised bar to improve service while new softened décor can be seen throughout the local.

Outside, new festoon lighting decorates the pub while new outdoor benches provide a spot for a cold pint and there is also brand-new flooring throughout the premises.

The renovations have introduced fresh décor that creates a warmer, more welcoming atmosphere, while the bar now serves a new range of beers, with pints like John Smith’s starting from £2.80 a pint, and an extensive offering of no and low alcohol beverages, ensuring all guests are accommodated to.

The Weoley Castle has upgraded its amenities with new Sky Q boxes, allowing it to show Sky, Sky Sports+, TNT Sports and even sport on Amazon Prime, and there are now seven HD TV screens throughout the venue.

Situated near walking spots, well-behaved dogs are also welcome throughout, with the venue aiming to become a favourite among guests stopping by for a pint with their pet. 

Kayleigh Astley, operator of The Weoley Castle, said: “We’re so excited to welcome back both new and familiar faces to the refurbished Weoley Castle, where I cannot wait to get started as the new operator.

“Our goal is to offer the best pub sports experience in the area, and we can’t wait to see guests enjoying all the new features we’ve been working hard on behind the scenes, my personal favourite is the dartboard.

“With a packed events schedule and great-value drinks, there’s always something to enjoy here. 

"This six-figure investment has allowed us to create a warmer, more inviting space for the whole community – and I’m sure our guests will love it.”

The pub’s weekly schedule has something for everyone with bingo, weekly quizzes, DJs, live music and the popular Tomola Tuesdays and will be putting on a special Christmas giveaway on Christmas day with one customer leaving their local £500 richer.
