The Roebuck pub in London Road in Marlborough is ready to reopen after being closed throughout December.

The former tenants of the pub, which is owned by Fullers, resigned a few months ago and an original changeover date had been set for December 1.

But this was not possible, as someone living on the site had not moved out, which led to the tenant closing the pub.

A new change of tenancy date was set for this week.

A spokesman for Fuller’s said they were confident the new tenants would take the pub from strength to strength.
