A couple born and bred in Totton are looking to make The Keys pub the very heart and soul of the community as it reopened this month.

 

The Keys on Commercial Road, Totton is run by Sarah and Phil and they want their pub to be the home from home for everyone and make it the hub of the community where friends, families, local sports clubs, charities and social groups meet up.

 

Pub visitors will be greeted by Patch, the pub dog who they rescued from Spain and is part of their welcoming party.

 

The award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who were named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards, has invested nearly £200,000 in The Keys and the countdown is on now to give Totton the best neighbourhood pub the community has seen.

 

Sarah and Phil moved back from Spain where they were running a bar to take over The Keys last December, and will be known to many as they ran the nearby Elephant & Castle previously.

 

Sarah said: “We were born and raised in Totton and can’t think of anywhere we would rather be. We had our time in Spain and now are happy to be back home. It’s an exciting time for the pub and we can’t wait to show it off to everyone. We were missing our regulars while we have been closed and look forward to seeing them along with lots of new faces. Now is the time to make The Keys the hub and heart of the community. Locals, friends, families, local charities or sports teams, social clubs and groups, we’d love to see you here. We are family-friendly and dog-friendly – in fact Patch loves to meet new four-legged friends!”

 

While they are keeping full details of the refurbishment works under wraps Sarah did say customers will see a light and fresh look to The Keys with soft furnishings to add to the comfort of the pub. In addition to the live TV sports, pool table and darts, there are plans to extend the entertainment and events, including bingo, gin and book afternoons, with weekend DJs and live music.

 

Beer garden season is here and there are works to enhance the outside and make the most of the (hopefully) good weather ahead.

 

And just to whet appetites a little more, gin trees and cocktails will also be new to The Keys menu.
