PENSIONERS enjoyed a sneak preview of a pub that has re-opened after refurbishment.
Members of the Two to Four Club, from Ushaw Moor, Durham, were among guests invited to sample the fare at the Board Inn, Hilltop, Esh, before it admitted the public on Thursday.
The pub, owned by businessman Jim O'Connor and his son, Patrick, has been closed for several months and has been restyled as a traditional country hostelry.
Mr O'Connor said: "We decided we would invite people in before we opened to the public to get some feedback about what they thought of it."
The pub is run by John and Kath Handley, Patrick's parents-in-law.
