A Hertfordshire pub that underwent a major refurbishment over a three-week closure has reopened.

The Gate, at Station Road in Bricketwood, shut the site for refurbishment at the end of January to make changes to the bar, toilets and the outside seating area, providing it a fresh new look.

It finally reopened on Thursday (February 24) with a launch event offering free nibbles and a raffle with a prize.

Landlord, Ben Satchfield said: “I am so excited to welcome my regulars back to The Gate.

“We created an amazing garden during the lockdown, but the pub itself needed some improvement and I am so proud of what has been achieved.”
