Wetherspoon has completed the £700,000 restoration of the ornate ceiling of The Opera House pub in Royal Tunbridge Wells.
It was in need of a revamp after patches of the roof began to crumble.
Punters can now safely enjoy a pint in the Grade II listed building for decades to come.
Craig Beardmore, Wetherspoon's property manager who oversaw the restoration, said: 'Wetherspoon invests heavily in its historic buildings for future generations, almost providing a civic service and duty to ensure the upkeep of some incredible landmark premises.
'With all historical buildings, essential improvements are required to ensure that they never reach that critical stage.'
