A PUB has reopened following a three-month-long refurbishment. 

A snowy weekend didn't stop crowds from turning out in Ben Rhydding to see The Wheatley Arms' new look.

The stone pub, built in 1863, has been welcoming drinkers, diners and travellers for years.

A spokesperson said: "The new-look Wheatley Arms mixes contemporary with traditional whilst remaining home to cosy corners and a warm atmosphere.

"The 190-capacity pub with 12 guest bedrooms is already set to be a busy destination for festive celebrations this Christmas."

The Christmas fayre menu will be launched on November 28 and people are urged to book swiftly to avoid disappointment.

The Wheatley Arms will be open seven days a week serving brunch, lunch and dinner.

Lunch options include smaller options and pub classics.

The pub will be relaunching its popular ‘Hooked On Wednesday’ offer, where diners can enjoy fish and chips for just £9.95.

On Fridays, people can enjoy 20 per cent off a bottle of prosecco between 5pm and 10pm.

The spokesperson added: "Located just four minutes from Ilkley and 20 minutes from Leeds city centre, the inn could serve as a great option for those looking to host friends and relatives over the festive period - or even to escape for a staycation.

"The Wheatley Arms also has two great function rooms available, which make a great space for all sorts of events, with direct access to the beautiful gardens - for those warmer months!"
