The "local" has changed into a gastro pub

My nearest pub, and my "local" for a number of years is the Hand and Flower which has just been transformed into The Legless Frog, featuring unusual chairs like this one.

The jury is out on the makeover. The new colour scheme and the lack of smoking makes the interior bright and attractive. The new furniture is distinctive but not to every body's taste. The beer is OK but the range is limited. And, for reasons that I do not understand, it closed at 11pm.

So it's fingers crossed for the future and for the opening of the restaurant.
