Drinking will be allowed outside at the front and back of an Irvine pub after their licence was granted on Monday.
Owners of the Carrick, Greene King Ltd, recently applied to the North Ayrshire licensing board for an outdoor area at the back of the pub, following the granting of a pavement cafe at the front.
A number of licensing board members recently visited the premises to see what work was being done and how suitable the pub was for the changes they requested.
