Changes to the pub include a refreshed bar, new seating, and a larger dining space.
The changes have given the space a "completed transformation" and a "brighter, more contemporary aesthetic" according to pub chain Ember Inns.
Lisa Bagwell, general manager at the Ardleigh, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome guests, both familiar faces and new friends, to experience our pub’s new look, whilst keeping the cosy feel of the Ardleigh we all know and love.”
