Part of the Flaming Grill pubs by Bury St Edmunds-based brewery Greene King, the Royal George has made a number of changes inside and out - just in time to enjoy in the warmer weather of the summer months.

Extra seating and a TV viewing area have been added to the inside (Image: Greene King) One of the biggest changes is a new TV viewing area, which has been added to give more people a chance to see the biggest sporting events, with extra seating to accommodate extra guests.

As part of the improvements the beer garden has received a makeover with extra seating outside, allowing more people to make use of the space.

The inside of the pub has also received some love, with it being redecorated as well as getting improvements to the styling.
