Following a £240,000 investment, the pub has undergone a thoughtful transformation designed to elevate the customer experience while preserving its welcoming local charm.

Reopened on 5th December, the Auld Hoose now operates under the Nest Pubs trading format—Greene King’s successful model introduced in 2024.
