A popular Sandbach pub and entertainment venue has changed its name and put food back on the menu. 

DV8 in High Street announced in September here it was closing its kitchen but now the pub has announced it's gone back to a new version of its old name and has a new look.

And today (Thursday) the historic pub, dating back to 1634 and where Dick Turpin reputedly stayed, has been renamed The Black Bear Lodge.   

The pub, with a thatched roof and a black bear on the top, was previously called the Black Bear before becoming DV8.   

A post on Social Media said: "The Life & Soul Group (Rumba, Crazy Moose, Arriba) and Reubens BBQ have collaborated on a brand new look for The Black Bear.
