The couple, who took on the long-established pub six years ago as their first venture into the pub trade, said: “Following our refurbishment earlier this year, we’re delighted to be

shortlisted.

“It is testament to the hard work of our team over the past six years and particularly their energy and enthusiasm in delivering a quality environment for our customers following

refurbishment earlier this year.”

The pub reopened in February after what was described as a “welcome facelift”.

Traditionalists were also kept happy with the most prominent feature, its circular bar, continuing to be the most distinguishing attraction.
