Iconic boozer’s £400,000 makeover has been well received by the community
The reopening of a long-term closed pub has been hailed as a success after a major investment worth almost £400,000.
The Howard Arms in Kilmarnock has welcomed customers back for the first time in November 2024 after being closed for five years.
