A popular Kilmarnock pub has toasted its future under new ownership with a grand opening. 

Kriss Steven and Steven Freeburn have taken over The Kadikoi on Bonnyton Road from previous owners Gareth and Mikey. 

The pub is a well-known spot for fans of nearby Kilmarnock FC, and also serves the surrounding community. 

The pair say they want to retain the traditional values of the pub whilst giving it a modern twist, and say they are "looking forward to making it something special".

The grand opening on Saturday, April 6 included a DJ, karaoke and food. 

A spokesperson said: "We just want to thank everyone who graced our pub by popping in and it was certainly a busy night!

"The dance floor was packed thanks to Ryan Kirkwood and drinks were flowing all night, literally to the death.

"That was the busiest day we’re ever had and it was all down to all you amazing customers."
