A historic pub will re-open its doors this week following a £150,000 renovation.

The revamp at the Cow and Calf pub on Ilkley’s Hangingstone Road includes a new-look 157-seat restaurant area.

The exterior of the Victorian building has been given a makeover and internal alterations include fitted seating, colour scheme and a modernised bar with sofa area.

All rooms at its Innkeepers Lodge have also been upgraded.

Landlord, Paul Stephenson, said: “The renovations will make a very big difference to the overall mood and atmosphere.”
