Take a look inside a popular Northampton pub following a one-month six-figure revamp.

The Whitehills, in Kingsthorpe, temporarily closed in October for a makeover and a major refurbishment.

The Flaming Grill pub – part of pub company and brewer Greene King – reopened its doors to the public from on Friday 14 November.

A Greene King spokeswoman said: “The Whitehills’ interior has been transformed to modernise the space and enhance its sports offering, creating a top-notch destination for sports enthusiasts, friends and families alike to enjoy spending time together. The pub’s interior layout has been improved to create a spacious dining area and a dedicated sports viewing area, and sleek new furnishings have been introduced to improve comfort for guests.

“Visitors of the Whitehills will be able to enjoy a thrilling sports offering with a brand-new media wall in its sports zone, fitted with multiple screens and high-quality sounds systems to showcase the latest sports matches on Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Those with a competitive streak can also put their sporting skills to the test with a new interactive digital dart board.”

The venue is also now offering the option of table service via the Greene King app.

To celebrate the relaunch, the Whitehills invited the Old Northamptonians Ladies RFC to cut the ribbon marking the pub’s official opening. The pub also donated to the Northampton Boys Brigade Old Boys RFC as part of its efforts to support community initiatives.

Natasha Partridge, general manager at the Whitehills, said: “The Whitehills is a well-established community hub in the heart of Kingsthorpe, and we’re thrilled to unveil a new look and feel for the pub and welcome both regulars and new customers back following a month-long investment.

“With features including an enhanced sports offering and stylish new restaurant and bar spaces, the Whitehills is the go-to destination for those seeking to enjoy a midweek meal, support their favourite sports teams or experience a brilliant range of live entertainment. We’re truly a pub for everyone, and we can’t wait to showcase our new look. Come in and celebrate this new chapter of the Whitehills with us!"

The Whitehills says it has an “exciting” schedule of live entertainment for visitors to enjoy, including Christmas Discos hosted throughout the festive season and a Charity Tombola event on November 30.
