A historic Northumberland pub has reopened following its parent company's largest ever investment to date.
The Coach and Horses, a traditional 18th century coaching inn on Priestpopple in Hexham, has seen a £700,000 investment. £460,000 came from Admiral Taverns and licensee Fiona Beck, while Northumberland County Council and Historic England awarded the remaining £240,000 through the Hexham High Streets Heritage Action Zone scheme (HSHAZ).
Ms Beck has 30-years of experience in the hospitality industry and took on the County Hotel in Hexham around six and a half years ago. After creating a "destination" pub for locals and tourists to enjoy, she is keen to create somewhere that compliments the County Hotel and hopes to foster a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
