Wantage Pub Reopening Tomorrow: Exciting New Look After Refurbishment!

The King Alfred’s Head in Wantage is set to unveil its beautifully revamped downstairs bar and dining area tomorrow, April 1. After more than a month of renovations, the stylish new space promises to be a vibrant community hub, dismissing any doubts—this is no April Fool’s joke. Karen Smith, managing partner at Punch Pubs & Co, expresses her excitement, emphasizing her commitment to both longtime patrons and new visitors alike.

A centerpiece of the redesign is a playful painting of King Alfred, complete with a traffic cone as a crown—an homage to the beloved local tradition. The pub aims to foster community spirit, offering its function rooms for free to local groups, and welcomes families and pets.

Alongside the new décor, guests can look forward to an expanded menu and fresh faces on the staff team. Following a series of successful soft launches over the weekend, anticipation is high for the grand opening. The King Alfred’s Head is not just a pub; it’s a cultural landmark waiting to welcome back its loyal clientele and embrace newcomers in a warm, inviting environment.
