New carpets part of pub refurbishment

 New carpets are part of the makeover of a pub in Worcestershire, which has reopened with a new name and image.

The replacement floor coverings were one element of the £85,000 project that has seen the Rousler in Bromsgrove High Street transformed, with the new title of the Grapevine to go with its transformed interior, the Bromsgrove Advertiser reports.

As well as the carpets, there is new wallpaper, more roof seating and a new beach hut-style roof terrace.

Pub manager Gary Abbott remarked: "The feedback from customers has just been fantastic and the opening night went really well."

He added that the venue no longer shows sport on TV and aims to provide a "comfortable, traditional pub environment".

Many people are likely to drop into a hostelry with a new carpet, according to Daily Telegraph writer Emily O' Hare noting that a number of restaurants have been opened for just a few weeks in London before closing.

She said this included one in Selfridges featuring a white carpet to go with white sparkling lights.
