The Thompson’s Bell pub in Walmer has reopened its doors to the public following a £275K refurbishment by Star Pubs and Bars 

The pub which has been shut since 23 February, was originally due to open in early April following a funding package by Star Pubs and Bars and new licensee Artur Matyjaszczyk, but was unable to do so due to Covid-19. 

The venue will serve classic pub food and show Sky sports, it has also been updated to ensure customer safety and to meet health and safety guidelines, with a new one-way system, multiple hand sanitisers and Test and Trace bar codes to use.
