The Zetland Hotel in Southport will reopen as a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub following a £300,000 renovation.
The pub, located just off Sussex Road, will be closed for around a month while a major transformation takes place both inside and out. When it reopens it will be kitted out with big screens and offer food.
The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, including multiple massive screens, an immersive state-of-the-art sound system, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a great view of the action.

Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more. Regulation dartboards and pool tables will return alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.
The beer garden will also be refurbished, with new TV screens installed, and locals will be able to order through the Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action.
A new range of bar food will be introduced, perfect for half-time and larger groups. The ‘Match Day Menu’ will feature hand-held bites such as chicken wings, nachos and burgers. The Zetland Hotel has also refreshed its range of drinks, with all draught beers available in two-pint cups.
Pub owner Marston’s, which also operates The Old Duke and The Guelder Rose in Southport, says it selected the Zetland Hotel for the Grandstand transformation due to its strong involvement with local sports teams, community groups and charities.
The refurbishment will create an exciting new proposition for sports fans from Southport and beyond and the pub will be decorated with local sports memorabilia. As part of this, the community is being invited to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.
Marston’s Operations Manager, Sacha Camilleri said:
“We’re so excited to show off the new and improved pub! With a calendar of sports up ahead, the Zetland Hotel will be the perfect destination to get involved in a big event atmosphere and soak up the action, especially thanks to some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events.”
Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless fries on team nights and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.
The Zetland Hotel is due to reopen on December 2nd. For more information or to book a table for the reopening, visit www.zetlandhotelsouthport.co.uk
