The pub, in Gospel End Street, which dates from the early 19th Century, opened its doors to the public from midday on Friday.

Campaign for Real Ale branches in Dudley and Wolverhampton have given the thumbs up to the new look pub.

Members of the Dudley and South Staffordshire branch were given a preview on Thursday and Wolverhampton members visited on Saturday to enjoy a pint.

It has received a £70,000 refurbishment from new operators The Red Pub Company, and six new bar staff have been recruited.
