Receiving a full redecoration, a new bar has been fitted and outside there are now more seats under its new covered area for guests to enjoy the garden no matter the weather.

The pub is operated by Emma Mortimer and Ben Holmes who have been in hospitality for around 25 years.

Emma is originally from Nottinghamshire and Ben is from Telford.

Ben said: “We’ve had a fantastic response to the pub’s refurbishment, the project really has seen the place take on a new lease of life and myself and Emma couldn’t be more pleased with how it’s turned out.

"Our live music every weekend has also been really popular since we’ve reopened.”
