New look for South Shields seafront pub
A seafront pub has re-opened its doors with a new look - and new owners - after a major revamp.
Managers, Stevie Murray and partner Natalie Hodgson are now set to welcome customers old and new to the New Crown, in Mowbray Road, South Shields, following the six-figure refurbishment.
The pub was officially re-opened by former barmaid Dotty Dean - who worked at the bar for 28 years - as guest of honour.
Mr Murray, who has worked in the hospitality industry with Natalie for over eight years, said: “I am really excited to start a new chapter here at the New Crown. The place is looking fantastic so now I’m looking forward to meeting some our new locals and welcoming them back.”
As part of the six figure refurbishment the pub, which is now under a Marston’s Franchise agreement; has had a complete makeover both outside and in, and now also boasts a brand new food and drink menu. A
