Andy says he has been overwhelmed by the response from the community: “There’s been lots of interest throughout the work. The Cartvale has the ‘wow factor’ now and people are amazed by the difference. Residents who’d stopped going to The Cartvale, or had never even been in, are now visiting, as well as new groups such as families and women.
“The aim is to restore the pub as the heart of the community, so the support and feedback has been brilliant.”
MP for East Renfrewshire, Paul Masterton officially relaunched the pub and pulled an inaugural pint to mark the occasion.
