The Black Horse, a popular local pub in Tonge Fold will be reopening its doors on Friday 12 May, after a £262,000 investment by the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company.

A new lease of life has been breathed into the pub, with the investment allowing for extensive enhancements to be made to the interior, exterior and garden. New fixtures and fittings have been installed and the pub’s interior has now been transformed into a modern and fresh space to relax with friends, family, and pets! The pub interior even pays tribute to local veterans, with a large photo hung on the wall, detailing the names of all the local heroes who lost their lives in the war.

The pub’s garden has also been given a revamp, ready for the long-awaited summer months and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink with friends and family under the sun.

You will recognise some familiar faces behind the bar, as Operators, Michael and Amanda Regan are returning to the Black Horse after being there for the last seven years. The husband-and-wife duo have a lot of history with the pub. It is the third site they have run together and is also the place they first met, over a game of pool. From their time at the pub, they have built a reputation for the fun-packed events they throw including Halloween and Christmas parties.

Michael said: “The pub looks amazing after its investment, and we are completely in love with it! We are very excited about the future of the Black Horse and believe the investment has given the pub a new lease of life.”

“Amanda and I are eager to get the doors open and see everyone again, we have missed all the locals! Over our time at the pub, we have created some great relationships with those in the area, so it will be nice to share the Black Horse’s new chapter with them too.”

The pub’s drinks menu has also been refreshed and enhanced, so returning customers and new faces alike will have the choice of a huge range of drinks, including Boddingtons and fantastic cocktails. Once you have you have your drink of choice, why not pair it with some great entertainment?

Each week, the Black Horse will have a variety of entertainment going on to bring all of Tonge Fold together for some fun. Starting off the week, on a Monday is Bingo, so if you are feeling lucky pop in and enjoy a game, you never know, you might just be lucky! There is nothing better than a mid-week quiz, and the pub has just that! Wednesdays are quiz nights, which means rounding up your team and putting your knowledge to the test. To end the week, you can come and enjoy some music. Friday nights will showcase live music from local artists, and Saturday nights are karaoke, so bring your best singing voices and top dance moves!

Sport is also a big part of the pub’s entertainment, with new and improved areas to watch live games regularly as well as a new pool table and darts board. The new facilities are great for some friendly competition and will also play host to local pool and darts teams matches.

The entertainment does not stop there, to celebrate the Black Horse’s reopening Michael, Amanda and the team will be welcoming all to join them for their launch weekend. The launch party will have a carnival theme, and to start the celebrations, karaoke will take place on Friday 19 May from 5pm.

Saturday 20 May is the main event, and from 6pm the Black Horse will host stilt walkers and fire breathers, and there will also be a DJ playing tunes throughout the night. The night is also fancy dress, and Michael and Amanda will be dressing up as ringmasters, so dig out your best and brightest carnival-themed outfits! To end the launch weekend celebrations, there will be live music on Sunday 21 May from 6pm.

Amanda commented: “The community is a huge part of the Black Horse, and all the work we do for individuals in the community and charities is what we are well known for in the area. We are looking forward to having a great time with our customers during the week, and to many future fundraising initiatives, especially towards our local charity of Bolton Hospice.

“Michael, the team and I look forward to seeing you all soon!”
