Ray and Bonnie said: “The planning and preparation took us around four to five months, but we can’t wait to see everyone.

“It was during the coronavirus pandemic when we started to look for pubs, and we found this pub and enquired about it.

“We know the area, and the customers, so we saw it has the perfect opportunity.”

Greene King purchased the property and announced plans to restore the venue in early November 2021.
