THE Bears Paw in Knutsford has been transformed into a pub for all seasons.
Publicans Jason and Mel Craig have rejuvenated their outside space so guests can eat and drink safely in line with Covid regulations when they reopen on Monday.
The couple have worked hard to remain at the heart of the community.
Starting with only a few picnic benches and parasols, they launched a major revamp.
