The Bumble Bee pub in Gwent has reopened with a new look following an £150k investment.
The pub’s refresh has seen the introduction of new wallpaper, stylish lighting, new seating, and uplifting colour palettes. With an updated bar area and investment in team training, the pub has now officially reopened with a fresh new look.
Chris & Donna Davis, who run The Arthrogryposis Group UK, a national charity for people affected by Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, were chosen as the pub’s community heroes to pour the first pints in celebration of the pub’s reopening.
The pub which recently welcomed a new General Manager, is situated in Blackwood town and is dog friendly. The Bumble Bee is ideally situated for a drink or meal before or after a visit to the nearby Blackwood Gate Retail Park.
The Bumble Bee offers a varied menu of pub favourites such as Steak and Ale Pie served with chips, garden peas and gravy and new additions such as Loaded Fries with spicy pulled pork, nacho cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, crispy onions and chopped chives and classic lagers on draught, cask ales and a variety of cocktails and G&Ts. The pub also offers a traditional Sunday Roast each week, all served with fluffy mashed potato, roast potatoes, seasonal veggies, home-made Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy.
Guests can also enjoy a new mid-week offer of a main meal and a drink for £11.25. The dishes vary daily with a pie and a drink on Mondays, burger and a drink on Tuesdays, curry and a drink on Wednesdays and steak and a drink for £12.50 on Thursdays.
The Bumble Bee is a family-friendly pub with a large outdoor area which allows guests to drink and dine alfresco. The new look is set to elevate the pub’s interior to suit all occasions, from casual lunches to special celebrations.
With over 1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland and Wales, Marston’s sites range from their traditional local pubs and family-friendly pubs to their sites with a focus on a ‘warm, timeless country pub atmosphere’.
New General Manager, David Lewis said, “We are so excited to re-open the doors of the Bumble Bee and to show our locals the result of our amazing refresh. We have invested £150k into breathing new life into the venue can’t wait to welcome everybody back.”
