Transformation ahead for The Pipe Major: Dagenham pub set for renovation

The Pipe Major closed its doors on Monday 26th May and will reopen on Saturday 21st June with a brand-new look

Exciting changes are in the pipeline at The Pipe Major, as Marston’s is set to invest £390,000 in refreshing this much-loved community pub. With exciting new updates, the pub is set to reopen with a fresh look that caters to both locals and families alike.

The revamped two-door pub will now offer two distinct areas: a lively locals’ bar and a cosy, family-focused lounge. A central partition will separate the spaces, ensuring there’s something for everyone under one roof - whether enjoying a quiet drink or spending quality time with loved ones.

The updated Pipe Major will be the perfect spot to gather with friends, enjoy delicious meals, or raise a glass in celebration. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the pub’s new addition of 4K big screens showing TNT Sports and Sky Sports, providing a prime location to catch all the latest fixtures while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.

Popular offers will still be available, including a bottle of Prosecco for £15.49 every Friday and a curry and a drink for £13.25 every Wednesday.

Upon reopening, the pub will host a variety of family fun days and quiz nights and will continue to support local charities and causes in the area.

Located in a suburban area just outside London and directly opposite Dagenham East tube station, the pub boasts excellent transport links and is surrounded by local shops and businesses. Nearby landmarks such as Dagenham Central Park and the Beam River make The Pipe Major an ideal stop for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink before or after exploring the area.

The pub will continue to serve its fan-favourite carvery alongside classic dishes such as the Ultimate Southern-Fried Chicken Burger, Mac & Cheese, and Chicken Tikka Masala, with options designed for both adults and children.

Hayden Leavers, pub partner, says: "This refurbishment will provide the perfect setting for the community to enjoy great food, drinks, and company, no matter the occasion. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back and showing off the fantastic improvements. Whether you're here for a pint, a family meal, or to catch up on the latest sports, The Pipe Major will be the perfect place to spend time with your loved ones."

Marston’s, with over 1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland, and Wales, offers a wide range of venues - from traditional locals to family-friendly spots - all with the goal of creating memorable experiences for everyone.

The Pipe Major will temporarily close for refurbishment on Monday 26th May and is set to reopen its doors on Saturday 21st June.
