The newly refurbished Stanley Arms Pub

The Stanley Arms Pub, located in Preston City Centre, is to reopen on Tuesday 25 July following a major revamp.

Located on Lancaster Road the grade-II listed building was closed earlier this month in order to undergo a transformation costing nearly a quarter-of-a-million pounds.

The pub has been revamped from head to toe, including the cellar, bar room and function room.

The impressive new decor creates a modern feel yet provides a tradition country style pub.

Paul Butcher, who has has worked in hospitality for many years, said: “I wanted to keep the traditional features which are in-keeping with the pub’s history.

“With the new function room, we want to attract local businesses to come and have a coffee, bigger groups like graduations and family parties.

“It’s great because it’s a self contained function room as it has its own bar and toilets.”
