Two Nottinghamshire cricketers have acquired another pub and plan to recreate the success of their flagship venue. Stuart Broad, who plays for England, and Harry Gurney, a former Nottinghamshire seamer, first acquired The Tap and Run in Upper Broughton.
Since doing so, the country pub and kitchen went on to win accolades including the Pub of the Year 2021 award in Leicestershire. Progress was set back by a devastating fire at The Tap and Run in June, which left the roof unsalvageable and the interior severely damaged by flames, smoke and water damage.
But the pair are planning to reopen The Tap and Run in the spring as significant rebuilding work continues, and they have now announced that they will be taking on another establishment. They are now running The Griffin Inn in Swithland, Leicestershire, and are already taking bookings.
