The West Main Street pub officially reopened on 15 September following a refurbishment designed to modernise the venue and strengthen its role within the local community.
Internally, the project has introduced new fixtures, flooring and fittings alongside refurbished lounge and bar areas.
Two new darts boards have been installed in the games area, while five 65-inch television screens provide facilities for customers watching live sport.
Outside, The Regal has received new lighting and signage alongside additional seating in its beer garden.
The outdoor areas can accommodate approximately 25 customers to the rear and a further 25 at the front of the pub.
Pollock has worked in hospitality for eight years and is developing The Regal as a dog and family-friendly community pub.
He said: “I’m absolutely thrilled with the results of the refurbishment. It has been great to welcome new and old customers back to this terrific community pub.
“I have loved every minute of my time at The Regal so far and I would like to thank everyone, from my family and friends to my customers and of course the team at Admiral Taverns, for all their ongoing support.
“I look forward to everything the future holds for this fantastic pub.”
The Regal will run a regular programme of entertainment, including live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, darts on Wednesdays, dominoes on Mondays and bingo on Thursdays.
A monthly quiz will also take place on the final Friday of each month.
Pollock plans to use the pub for fundraising events and community initiatives supporting Erskine Veterans Charity.
Iain Fisher, Business Development Manager at Admiral Taverns, said: “Chris brings so much passion and dedication to the pub, and since taking it over he has built a really strong community focused local that customers love.
“The investment demonstrates Admiral Taverns’ ongoing commitment to supporting community pubs across Scotland and ensuring they remain at the heart of local communities.
“On behalf of myself and everyone at Admiral Taverns, I wish Chris and the entire team at The Regal the best of luck in the future.”
Admiral Taverns operates approximately 1,365 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales.
