The Bamburgh pub in South Shields closed on 12 October for a major autumn refurbishment. Owner Greene King has invested a six-figure sum to upgrade the pub inside and out, adding modern comforts to boost its appeal. The pub is expected to reopen later in the month, though no official date has been given.

The four-star pub is located on the Coast Road, metres from the finishing line of the Great North Run, which took place earlier this year. It is also positioned just a mile from Sandhaven Beach, one of the North East's busiest beaches. The pub already has a 4.3-star rating on Google reviews and is dog-friendly.

Greene King said the pub would 'continue to be a popular destination for friends, families, and sports fans, offering a variety of food and drink options to suit every occasion'. The refurbishment is intended to enhance its position ahead of next year.
