His daughter Amanda was one of the first to lay eyes on the renovations when she was invited to an exclusive sneak peek prior to the opening and she was impressed by what she saw.

She said: “Offshore looks great. It is totally different to what it was originally. but I love all of it and I’m looking forward to coming in, testing it out and having some food and drink soon.

“We obviously have many, many family memories having the Lindum as part of our family for so long, but it is very exciting to see the vibrancy of the new Offshore and it will be very exciting to see how it progresses.”
