A PUB put back on track by an award-winning landlady will reopen later this month.

The Railway Inn at Portslade Railway Station will reopen on Friday March 20 after an extensive refurbishment.

The pub has been taken on by Zoe Rogers who is hoping to bring the same midas touch that saw her other pub The George Payne in Payne Avenue, Hove, named Best Turnaround in the 2013 Great British Pub Awards.

The pub, formerly known as The Whistlestop but now restored to its historic name, closed on New Year’s Day and will reopen its pub and kitchen even while refurbishment work continues on its function room and garden.
