A Nottinghamshire pub has temporarily closed for a makeover by the new owners. The Lurcher in Rainworth was acquired by Pub People Co., a Derbyshire-based company which operates over 40 pubs across the East Midlands including The Lion at Basford, Six Barrels in Nottingham city centre and the Hop Pole in Chilwell.
The takeover happened in November and trade so far has been good. Managing director Andrew Crawford said: "We acquired the pub from an independent operator. We have been delighted as to how it has traded through Christmas and into the new year.
"The pub receives a huge amount of support from the local community with numerous local clubs and societies associated with it."
