A village pub which has been closed for nearly two years will reopen its doors next month after a major refurbishment.
The Winton Arms, Pencaitland, was taken over by Caledonian Heritable Ltd in 2019 and has been closed while building work was carried out. At a virtual meeting of East Lothian Licensing Board today members were told it was expected to reopen mid July and would operate as a restaurant with a bar with a focus on Scottish produce.
Caledonian applied for a major variation to the operating licence for The Winton Arms to allow conference facilities and a range of events from wedding ceremonies to quiz nights and comedy performances to be held. They also applied for permission to provide outdoor dining and children of all ages access to the new facility.
