Alongside the new-look, guests can enjoy a refreshed menu featuring new dishes such as Grilled Salmon Fillet, Pork Tomahawk and the Katsu Chicken Rice Bowl, alongside the Ember Inns classics they know and love.  

Situated close to Derby and Burton upon Trent, the pub is expected to welcome both local residents and visitors exploring the area, offering a place to relax, dine and socialise throughout the week. 

Paul Randall , General Manager at The Hollybrook, said:  "This refurbishment is about much more than giving the pub a new look. We've created a space that feels brighter, more comfortable and even more welcoming, while keeping the character that our guests love. We know this pub means a lot to the community, and we're excited to welcome everyone back through the doors."
