The Portobello Inn in Worcester has reopened following a £270,000 refurbishment, becoming the latest Marston's pub to adopt its new Grandstand sports concept.

Reopening on 4 November, the pub has been transformed with multiple large screens, a state-of-the-art sound system and tiered seating designed to give customers a good view of the sporting action.

The beer garden has also been upgraded with new screens, while the pub's walls feature local sports memorabilia. Residents are being invited to contribute photographs and merchandise celebrating sporting achievements in the area.

The Grandstand concept will cover a wide range of live sport, including football, rugby, cricket, Formula 1, darts and tennis. Customers can also enjoy pool tables, dartboards and new competition leagues.

There is also a refreshed food and drink menu, featuring burgers, grills, fish and chips, chicken wings and nachos, alongside a range of draught beers. Local sports teams can also benefit from a special Black Card offer, providing bottomless fries when visiting for team drinks.

The reopening was officially marked by community hero Bill Davidson, President of St John's Royal British Legion, who was invited to pull the first pint in recognition of his fundraising work for Acorns and other charities, which has raised more than £40,000.
