A DARWEN pub which has undergone a £300,000 makeover is reopening tonight.

Daniel Thwaites Brewery has refurbished The George with a high tech plasma screen and three big screens and sound systems.

Brand new signage now greets customers at the Hollins Grove venue and a modern outside area, complete with outdoor big screen and heating completes the exterior makeover.

Landlord Wally Brookes said: "We are all delighted with the redevelopment.

"Anybody who has visited the pub before will know how much better we look, both inside and out."
