A PIE-lovers' paradise has been created as part of a £120,000 revamp at an Evesham pub.

Thirty different pies will feature on the menu at Porky's Pie and Steakhouse, part of the Vauxhall Inn.

Owners Enterprise Inns released scores of balloons above the Vine Street pub as new licensees Robert and Fransje Hopkins celebrated the makeover.

"I'm a trained chef and as well as being landlord I'm also looking forward to making full use of my culinary skills in the restaurant," Mr Hopkins said.

"We have created a menu featuring 30 different varieties of pie - some of which are quite unusual - and an unbeatable selection of vegetarian meals."

The revamped restaurant will also be used as a function room for private parties and wedding receptions.

"The pub has extensive grounds which we plan to use for folk festivals and specialist beer festivals," added Mr Hopkins.

Enterprise Inns, based in Solihull, owns 2,600 leased and tenanted pubs nationwide.
