Doors to The Bamburgh in South Shields are open again following a six-figure refurbishment to make the most of the much-loved seaside pub.

There have been improvements to the inside and out of the Greene King pub on Bamburgh Avenue which continues to serve a range of food and drink with plenty of entertainment and sports on tap for customers too.

Bosses say they want to make the most of its enviable coastal location with significant works to enhance the beer garden so customers can take in the sea views in comfort.
