Mad O’Rourke’s Pie Factory back in business
Wednesday 16th March 2011, 9:00PM GMT.
A landmark Black Country pub has reopened after it was bought back from administrators by its former owner.
The Mad O’Rourke’s Pie Factory in Tipton has undergone a £30,000 revamp.
Pete Towler bought the property back from administrators PKF earlier this month under the name of P&S Pies Ltd, with his wife Sue as director. All 15 jobs have been secured. “I am very pleased,” said 51-year-old Mr Towler, from Tettenhall, Wolverhampton.
“The past few months have been pretty stressful. We’re hoping now to be able to get things back to the way they were.”
The pub, in Hurst Lane, had been closed for three weeks before re-opening yesterday.
