North End Tavern in Worcester Park, a fixture of the local community since 1929, is welcoming back customers after a six-figure investment transformed the venue.
Completed just in time for the festive season, the revamp saw the first 50 guests on reopening night treated to free drinks in celebration.
Mark Borrie, general manager of the North End Tavern, said: “We’re delighted to welcome everyone back to our pub following its brief closure.
“We’ve kept everything our guests know and love, while making thoughtful improvements where it was needed, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the difference.
“This refresh is all about enhancing the overall guest experience, and we had a huge crowd in over the weekend to see the new-look North End Tavern and the feedback so far has been amazing.”
Refurbishment work has retained the pub’s familiar charm while introducing new mood lighting and interior upgrades.
Long known as a gathering spot for sports fans, the North End Tavern now features seven HD screens and a new audio-visual system.
Visitors can watch Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Premier Sports in high definition, with multiple Sky Q boxes allowing viewers to choose from a variety of games.
A new dartboard and electric scoreboard have also been installed, just in time for the upcoming Darts World Championships.
Capacity has increased by 12 thanks to the upgrade, with refreshed outdoor huts and enhanced signage contributing to the new look.
Dog owners are still welcome, as the North End Tavern remains pet-friendly, offering water and treats for canine companions and sitting close to popular walking routes.
A packed events schedule has been introduced, including live music, karaoke, DJs on weekends and a popular Sunday night quiz.
Reopening weekend celebrations were lively, featuring a DJ and karaoke on Saturday followed by a live performance from singer Harry Leo on Sunday.
Customers can now enjoy a wide selection of beers, ciders, wines and no or low-alcohol options, all at some of the most competitive prices in the area.
The refreshed venue aims to continue balancing tradition with modern comfort, ensuring guests can enjoy a relaxed experience in a setting that feels both familiar and improved.
With its upgraded features, expanded capacity and commitment to community, North End Tavern is ready to serve as Greater London’s go-to destination for good food, great drinks and top-tier sports viewing.
