A popular Lake District pub has reopened following a six-figure revamp.
The Dog & Gun, on Lake Road in Keswick, closed its doors on November 6 for the work, which owners Greene King hope will bring it a new lease of life.
The traditional 19th century listed pub, which first opened in 1807, has been refreshed, owners said.
The pub’s popular menu of traditional pub classic remains largely the same, with a couple of new additions and its famous Hungarian goulash still takes pride of place on the menu, having been served for over 60 years from the original pub owner’s recipe, and remaining its most popular dish.
A spokesman said: “Our team at Dog & Gun are excited to welcome customers back, both old and new, and show everyone what we have been working on over the past month.
“The Dog & Gun is a beloved historical and community pub, and this renovation has enabled us to upgrade the pub while maintaining our traditional roots, as well as adding some exciting new additions to our offering.
“We’ve always been known for our top tier service, delicious food and cosy pub environment and we want to reassure our customers that this has not changed, the pub has simply received the TLC that it deserves.”
The pub also supports Keswick Mountain Rescue Team by collecting money from customers leaving coins in grooves in the wooden beans or brickwork surrounding the old-style brick fireplace.
