A PUB currently undergoing a makeover has revealed when it will be reopening.
The Dog and Partridge will throw open its doors once more to customers next month to show off its impressive revamp.
The Paddington venue is currently closed while work continues to transform the pub and give it an internal and external facelift.
New colour schemes and logos have been drawn up for the site, off Manchester Road.
Externally, a mood board has been created proposing fixed wooden seating and outdoor TV screens, as well as a covered pergola, beer barrel tables and planters.

An internal mood board teases new carpets, tiling, paint, wallpaper, flooring and furniture.
Now, a grand reopening date has been fixed for Thursday, March 21, with doors opening from midday and a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5pm.
Confirming the news, the pub said: “Wow, we are overwhelmed by all the positive comments and feedback already everyone.
“We cannot wait to bring you more over the coming weeks.

“Just to give some clarity and context behind a few comments and messages regarding the current kids play equipment, we are currently awaiting a professional and compliance update before we can commit to whether it stays or not.
“We really hope it can, but safety is our first priority.
“We will however either way still be a family friendly pub with lots of other activities available inside and outside.
“Watch this space for further updates.”
In December, the pub had plans approved to build a raised deck and timber pergola, as well as to redecorate the existing decking to the front.
Documents submitted as part of the application stated: “The proposal aims to revamp the external beer garden and create a new covered external pergola for external seating.
“The proposal is part of a rebrand from Greene King and its Hive pub brand which aims to attract new customers to the venue.”
Plans went on to say: “The proposed works are to enhance existing customer facilities and staff operation, in order to help facilitate the ongoing economic viability of this existing and well-established operation.”
Last month, The Dog and Partridge also applied to demolish an unsafe and redundant outbuilding.
