The pub together with the adjacent shop frontage reopened November 2017 as a pop-up whilst a vast redevelopment was meant to take place to its north. This deveoolemsnt has been subject to very severe delays! The pub restoration includes low-hanging brass lights, marble table tops and oak flooring, and a covered and heated 'woodland' garden (with plastic ivy and more). Blankets are provided for those chilly evenings.

The Garden area to the rear of the pub has been landscaped to provide a seating area for 450 people. With the total capacity of the complex at 800 this is more of a reasonably fast and varied licensed food court than anything else. The pub and each of the 4 rotating street-food units connect to the garden via walkways. You buy your food in the restaurants, and then drink in the pub or in the garden area, on two levels, that has a big bar. There's a wide range of drinks including keg draught beer and lager. In addition to the street food mentioned, the venue has since expanded its food offering to include pub classics including Sunday roasts, lunch deals, and a kids' menu.

Bookings are encouraged (for groups of 4 to 199); there are some tables for smaller 'walk-in' parties.

The site was listed as an ACV by H & F Council, but this expired 2 March 2021 and, apparently, has not been renewed.
