One of Abingdon's most prominent pubs is about to welcome old and new customers back to the pub, after a major refubishment.

John Reeves

The Grapes, the only licensed premises in the town's High Street, has been totally transformed internally at a cost of £200,000 by brewers, Greene King.

New landlord, John Reeves, is pictured behind the bar.

Mr Reeves will take over from his long-serving predecessor, Des de Silva, who is moving to The Ox in Oxford Road with his wife, Allison, after spending eight years at the pub.
