A pub celebrated reopening after a £250,000 refurbishment.

The Prince of Wales, in Church Hill Road, Barnet, reopened last Friday, creating 20 jobs.

General manager Athina Vassou said: “It was a great success and we had positive feedback from the local residents. We were really busy all weekend."

The evening was attended by the Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Hugh Rayner, and chairman of Stonegate Pub Company Ian Payne.
