Romsley’s The Sun pub near the Clent Hills beauty spot is closing for a major £250,000 makeover. The Marston country pub on the border of Bromsgrove and Halesowen will close its doors on Monday 27th February for work to start.
In the village, popular with walkers near the M5 Junction 3, The Sun is on the east side of Clent Hills and has a great beer garden for warmer days. The traditional village pub will reopen on Saturday 25 March with a brand new look and extras on the menu.
New additions will include fries loaded with spicy pulled pork, nacho cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, crispy onions and diced scallions along with pub favorites.

Marston promised that one thing that won’t change is his weekly Sunday Roast. It draws crowds for its “fluffy mashed potato, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, homemade Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy.”
Art prints from the remodel show how nature-themed deep blue and brown floral wallpaper will decorate the dining room.
The dog-friendly pub at the junction of Bromsgrove Road and St Kenelms Road in Romsley gets chic with grand Victorian-style paintings and lamps.
There will be a corner bar with stools to encourage conversation in the center of the room. It is set up to serve classic beers on tap, draft beers and a variety of cocktails and gin and tonics.
Marston’s said the new look is “set to elevate the pub’s interior to suit all occasions, from informal lunches to special celebrations.” So far it has a reputation for its village pub atmosphere.
It comes a few months after nearby Romsley pub The Swallows Nest, owned by competitor Vintage Inns, reopened after a makeover.
The Sun’s CEO Georgina Saint took over in November and is overseeing the transformation.
Georgina said: “We are very excited to announce that The Sun is getting an update. We have invested over £250,000 to breathe new life into The Sun.
“Our pub is the perfect place for a pit stop on a walk through the Clent Hills and is much loved by its regulars. We look forward to welcoming them all back.”
Romsley is one of the sought after towns on the outskirts of Birmingham where house prices have continued to rise in recent years.
It is also blessed with some of the best views of the city and Worcestershire from its elevated position.
