A pub in Cotgrave has finally re-opened its doors after a lengthy closure just in time for locals to celebrate Christmas. The metal fencing is down at the Rose & Crown, in Main Road, and the first customers have been welcomed back.
Licensee Elly Wilson and her partner Ben Oxley are at the helm. Elly, 34, said: "We've been made very welcome. People have been dropping off logs for the log burner and given us Christmas cards, it's been quite overwhelming but a very nice welcome."
Ben, 44, added: "The previously landlord and landlady came in and gave us a card and wished us well and gave us a few little tips."
