The Iron Forge pub in Scunthorpe is set to undergo a major refurbishment, investing over £334,197 to refresh this much-loved, community pub.

Upon reopening, The Iron Forge will have a newly created bar area. Locals can pop in for a pint and a bite to eat, and to celebrate unmissable moments in the heart of the community. Complete with 4k big-screen TVs, Sky Sports and TNT, the area will also be complete with a new dart board and a state-of-the-art AV system.

There will also be a new dedicated ‘family lounge’, with everything designed around families’ needs and where everyone can feel they belong. The pub will continue to serve its extremely popular kids’ menu; with little servings of pub favourites for Over 5s and a ‘build-your-own’ option for Under 5s.

The shared good times for everyone continues, as the pub will serve its popular carvery buffet, with succulent slow-cooked meats or vegetarian options, all served with a homemade Yorkshire pudding as well as unlimited delicious seasonal vegetables, crispy roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy and sauces.

With more than1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland, and Wales, Marston’s locations range from traditional local and family-friendly pubs to venues designed for a warm, timeless country pub atmosphere offering shared good times for everyone.
