00:00 One of Sheffield's best known pubs has reopened after a major refurbishment.
00:05 You can see behind me it's the Ranmoor Inn and we're going to take a look and see how it's looking after the major changes that have been carried out.
00:14 I'm just talking to Tilly Moore who runs the Ranmoor Inn. Tilly, could you tell me what work you've had done here?
00:23 So, what we have done, we have re-upholstered everything because it was all falling to bits.
00:30 New carpets, new paintwork, new funky wallpaper.
00:35 But we've still kept the feel of how it was before, we've not changed it, not changed the layout or anything.
00:41 We've still kept all the local pictures and everything like that because people up here like the feel of the local pictures and everything like that.
00:50 We've also got a few random pictures and things like that.
00:54 The bar has all been painted, still got good beer on.
01:00 And how long were you closed for? When did you close and when did you reopen?
01:04 We closed the 25th of September and reopened on the 19th of October which was quiz night.
01:11 How busy was the first night of reopening?
01:13 It was a good night, there's a lot of people that we've not seen before coming in, have a nosy, see what it's like.
01:20 We have seen people keep coming back and they seem to like everything that's happened.
01:26 It's a nice change, better than what it was before.
01:31 What do you call this area of the pub?
01:34 This is a secret garden, before this was closed to the public, we've opened it up, added a few more seats and tables
01:41 because this catches the sun whereas a lot of the other bit is undercover.
01:47 And what's the story with the elephant?
01:50 So this is the elephant that was outside the Crucible, it was designed by Claire Pentlow I believe.
01:56 I believe it was the managing director of the pub people, he put a bid on this to raise money for Sheffield Children's Hospital.
02:08 And now it's a feature of the pub?
02:11 Now it's a feature of the pub because it's the closest pub they've got to the Children's Hospital.
