A St Margarets pub has reopened this week with new heated huts and a marquee to welcome people come rain or snow.

The Turk's Head on Winchester Rd received three heated booths from Guinness and its parent company Diageo as part of the #raisethebar campaign.

It has also put up a marquee over the top half of the garden.

Ollie Jack at The Turk's Head said: "It's been so wonderful to be able to re-open and welcome back our team and customers.

"We've been blown away by the support shown over the last year and especially since re-opening with everyone booking tables.

"We want to say a huge thank you to the community for their support.

"Our garden is looking amazing and tables can be booked on our website or over the phone.

"We can't wait to see you all again soon!"
