A popular country pub has reopened to the public after a six-figure refurbishment to revitalise the site. The Duke of Wellington in Hatfield Peverel has been closed for just under a month to undergo major refurbishment work.
The interior and exterior of the pub has undergone a complete revitalisation, featuring contemporary décor additions that inject a fresh and modern atmosphere into the venue. The Greene King pub now offers a more expansive feeling with renovations creating space for an additional 65 people with 50 outside.
The site is now open every day from 10am, featuring an all-new breakfast menu for guests to enjoy. Meanwhile, the pub’s popular food menu of classic dishes remains the same.

Behind the bar, the drinks menu has had a revamp and will now be serving three new craft ales: Flint Eye Dry Hopped Lager, Level Head IPA and Beavertown. The pub prides itself on being a 'football-free zone', welcoming families to come together and unwind.
There are a variety of items on the kids’ menu for little ones to enjoy. The cherished play area remains, ensuring the kids stay happily entertained.
The pub’s idyllic location is a perfect pitstop for walkers and it’s dog-friendly both inside and out, meaning that those who want to bring their furry friends can do so.
Karl Henton, General Manager of the Duke of Wellington said: "We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to renovate the pub, with a complete revamp that has given it a whole new lease of life.
"Duke of Wellington has always been known for its 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."
Alongside seasonal events, the Duke of Wellington also hosts a weekly programme of activities, including bingo on Monday nights, poker Tuesdays, quizzes on Wednesdays, seniors’ day on Thursdays, fish Fridays, and roasts on Sundays. The pub will also be hosting an adults-only Murder Mystery night on August 1.
