Wetherspoon confirms why its Leeds Station pub is temporarily closed

Commuters have spotted that Wetherspoons, in Leeds Station, has been closed this week - and has been gutted out inside.

A spokesperson for the pub group has confirmed the pub is closed for at least four weeks.

This is due to a £500,000 refurbishment project, which will see redecoration, toilet upgrades, bar works and furniture refurbishment.

A pizza oven will also be added to the kitchen.

The pub is expected to reopen in June.

It follows the £1.5million refurbishment of the Bowling Green, in Otley, which reopened last month.

The pub, which had been closed for five months, has almost doubled in size following a huge expansion project.
