The King Alfred inn in Chippenham is to be reopened as an Indian restaurant and a bar.
The pub in Malmesbury Road has been closed for several months.
But now Abdul Nasir, award-winning owner of Bombay Nights restaurant in Bath, has taken on the licence and intends to run the inn as a pub restaurant and should be open by the end of the month.
One side of the building in Malmesbury Road will be an Indian themed food operation while the other side of the pub will remain a bar.
