The details:
The pub closed temporarily yesterday (20 January)
A new family dining area is being created
Enhanced facilities for watching live sports are being installed
Additional improvements are planned but are yet to be announced
Work will take approximately three weeks to complete
What they're saying: The Mermaid said that behind the scenes, they are "busy pouring everything" into the pub to make it "better than ever."
The bottom line: The pub will remain closed until 14 February while the renovation work is carried out. Customers are being asked to "stay tuned" for details of the grand reopening next month.
