The team who worked their magic to turn a flagging village pub into a thriving business are at it again. Earlier this year owner Sean Reddington and his staff turned the Old Vol at Caythorpe into a destination for food lovers and families.
The pub has just been awarded two rosettes by the AA Restaurant Guide for its 'exceptional' menu and boasts a coveted garden bar and terrace with a tiny town for young visitors. Its popularity means it is well on course for a £2.5 million turnover in its first year.
Now they're about to do it again - just two miles away, at another country pub. This time it's the Reindeer at Hoveringham. The pub has now closed and will be undergoing a £100,000 makeover. It will reopen on December 1, just in time for Christmas celebrations.
