A Kenilworth pub will reopen next year with a new name after a multi-million-pound refurbishment.
The hospitality group Heartwood Collection is set to revamp The Abbey Field pub, with the aim of opening its doors in autumn 2027, under the new name The Kingfisher of Kenilworth.
The new owners said: "The new name takes its inspiration from the historic Abbey Fields parkland at the heart of Kenilworth, where kingfishers are among the birds recorded along the Finham Brook."
Changes will be made to the bar and dining areas, as well as an outside terrace and 24 bedrooms.
Heartwood Collection recently bought The Angel Inn in Leamington, which will also reopen in 2027, and owns two existing pubs in the county - The Black Swan in Henley-in-Arden and The Red Lion in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Richard Ferrier, CEO of Heartwood Collection, said: "We are delighted to have acquired The Abbey Field from Greene King and to be growing our presence in Warwickshire. Kenilworth is a wonderful town with a rich history, and we wanted a name that celebrates what makes it special. We look forward to restoring the pub and welcoming guests to the newly named ‘Kingfisher of Kenilworth’ in autumn 2027."
