A POPULAR pub has reopened after a major rebranding.

The Stirling Arms is now welcoming back patrons in Stirling Place, Hove after the makeover.

New yellow paint has been used on the pub's walls and there are new signs and outside seating.

The venue was previously The Foragers, and had a light green colour scheme on the outside.

It did not reopen when the Government told pubs and venues they could reopen beer gardens in April.

Instead work was underway to transform it.

On its new website The Stirling Arms said: "After months of hard work and a very big last push, The Stirling Arms is back.

"We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of our team and construction crew for the sheer amount of graft that's gone into transforming the pub.

"We're beyond excited to welcome you all back in to check it out."

At the moment the pub is open for walk-in drinks until the kitchen reopens on Saturday, May 29.

Owners say Firedog Kebabs will be returning with a brand new menu packed with middle eastern delights to dazzle their customers' taste buds.
