A PUB in Somerset is reopening under new management after closing for months earlier this year.

The Red House Pub, in Yeovil, is reopening a little differently than expected after announcing online that, for now, no food would be served, only drinks.

Nestled in the heart of Somerset, The Red House is a quintessential West Country pub.

Here, you’ll find a warm atmosphere complemented by traditional wooden beams, a crackling fireplace and friendly locals ready to share a tale or two.

Once a pub owned by Stonegate Group, the building has a good sized locals dining area and a separate function room that can also be used as a skittle alley.

There is also a very large car park and large gardens.

Food is confirmed to "come in at some point" after the new management finds their full kitchen team.

One local spoke to the County Gazette about the pub returning and said: "I'm so happy the Red House is coming back.

"It felt like it was dying a slow death for a while but hopefully the new owners can reinvigorate the pub.

"It looks amazing in there."

The new owners have been tirelessly at work in reshaping the interior of the Somerset pub - including paintwork, an added fireplace, and more.

Facing some delays ahead of their reopening, the pub pushed back its opening date (October 30) a few days. 

The pub owners haven't yet confirmed when they will be opening, but say that they will notify people online and that it will be this month.

Despite new management taking over, The pub is still listed online, with the availability to enquire about renting the establishment.

A provisional price tag is set in place on findmypub, with The Red House available to rent for £23,000 per year with an added £6,525 ingoing cost.

If you fancy a trip to The Red House, you can find the pub in Yeovil at Dorchester Road, Yeovil, United Kingdom.

Speaking ahead of the eventual opening, an owner at The Red House said: "Exciting News!

"We are delighted to announce that we are able to share our opening date with you all! We will be opening our doors at some point in October!

"For the time being, we will be offering drinks only, with food coming very soon...

"We are facing some unexpected delays with the official opening of The Red House.

"Keep an eye on our social media for more information & revisions to the opening hours in the coming weeks.

"In the meantime, we are looking for a passionate chef to join our team at The Red House and assist us in developing a fantastic food offering.

"Please keep an eye on our social media where we will share a revised opening date very soon!

"Thank you all for your patience and we can’t wait to see you soon."
