General manager, Dave Smith said: “We will continue to offer great service and a quality food and drink offer.”

Mr Smith added that the pub would be continuing with its cask ale selection with Greene King IPA on permanently and another four rotating local ales as well as ales from across the UK.

Dave and Wendy Smith and their team will reopen the doors at 5pm on November 14 for a VIP reception which set to include fire eaters and jugglers.

The pub will open to the public from 7pm.
