The former East of Arcadia pub in Meanwood was taken over by Whitelock’s Ale House earlier this year.
The pub has been shut for renovation, with the new owners adding a new bar and seating area and the capacity for up to 160 guests.
It will reopen on Saturday October 1 under a new name – the Meanwood Tavern.
We take a look inside the new-look boozer...
