'We took over our local pub near Bridgnorth just before Covid and put absolutely everything into it - but we couldn't save it'
A Bridgnorth pub and a popular haunt for bikers and classic car owners has closed its doors as owners say 'we put absolutely everything into it'
Mark and Tina Freeman have been running the Danery in Quatford, near Bridgnorth since 2020.
The couple scrapped a plan to move to France to take over their pub, which had been their local and where they got married.
Over the last five years, under their stewardship, they survived the Covid pandemic and implemented a car-theme in the pub, which has attracted a regular crowd of bikers and car owners.
They also opened a diner - the Pit Stop Cafe - in 2024 to complement the car-themed pub.
