A homely country pub that was renowned for serving first-class food has gone on the market. Customers were saddened when the the dog-friendly Dapper Spaniel called last orders.
The gastro pub changed from Indian restaurant Gurkha One, opening in March 2019 with a mouth-watering à la carte menu and Sunday roasts, plus a huge selection of gins and craft ale behind the bar, in Staythorpe Road, Rolleston.
Animal-loving owners chef Karl Tyler and his partner Kat Galvin named the business after their dapper doggy, Springer Spaniel Archie, and made sure dogs were welcome. The property underwent a stylish facelift, replacing the orange and purple walls with dog-print wallpaper, complemented by neutral shades and a splash of blue. The pub also has the added bonus of five bedrooms where guests could stay overnight.
