The landlords of The Walnut pub in Stowmarket are revamping the garden to create an "outside room" for up to 100 people, as they believe the hospitality industry will permanently change as a result of coronavirus.
Once complete, the outside space will be able to cater for around 100 people a huge improvement on the 12 when they first arrived in 2019.
The work began earlier this week, and the first stage looks set to be complete by next Friday, with further renovations taking place to revamp another section of the garden.
Mr Sheldrake said the revamp will really change the pub , adding that anything that can be painted, will. It s a lovely space and we really think that things will permanently change, he said. If the weather is good enough for people to be outside people are going to want to be outside probably for good, but certainly this year.
