A Llangefni food and drink hot spot is set to unveil its new look this weekend.

The Market Inn will officially reopen on Saturday, March 8, after a 12-month refurbishment.

Property developer and publican, Derek McKeon, has invested nearly a million pounds to transform the venue into a modern hub for the community and visitors.

Food and drink lovers are invited to see the improved Market Inn, sample the new menu, and enjoy live music from Fleur De Lys from 7pm.

Mr McKeon said: "Llangefni has always been a special place for me, and I’m proud to be investing in the town’s future.

"We’ve carried out an extensive 12-month renovations programme focused on preserving the building’s unique character while creating a modern, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.

"We now have a venue that blends timeless architecture with contemporary modern dining, and I can’t wait to welcome the community to experience it."

Mr McKeon, who has run The Foundry Vaults for more than 21 years, is no stranger to the hospitality industry in Llangefni.

As well as trying out the new food and drink menu, visitors will be able to admire the improvements made to preserve the building's iconic mansard roof and historic dormers.

This recent investment revitalizes Llangefni, introducing a vibrant leisure destination featuring a dining area, a dedicated function room, and an outdoor seating space perfect for meals, social gatherings, and events.

Looking ahead, the venue will soon unveil eight spacious, bright, and modern ensuite bedrooms, offering premium accommodation just in time for the holiday season.
