A PUB in Bangor which plans to re-open with a new fish and chip shop at its premises has selected its new name.

The Tap and Spile, on Garth Road, closed on Sunday (August 27) ahead of its “makeover”, and invited its customers to comment on its Facebook page suggestions for its new name.

It will now be known as “Tafarn Y Garth”, with the person responsible for the winning entry to claim a free portion of fish and chips every week for a year.

Earlier today (September 21), The Tap and Spile said: “After much deliberation and a fair few laughs, we would formally like to introduce you all to ‘Tafarn Y Garth’!

“All winners have been contacted and will be splitting the prize. We can't wait to welcome you all soon.”

More than 100 suggestions for a new name had been submitted since the pub’s initial post on Sunday, August 20.

Other comments included: “The Battered Barrel”, “The Happy Sole” and “Garth Fish Bar”.
