Owners of a rural pub in Northumberland say they are delighted to give a community back their pub after four years without one.
The Queen's Head Inn in Great Whittington, around seven miles north east of Hexham, had last operated as a Chinese restaurant before it was spotted by business partners David Finn and Isaac Parr in an article in the Chronicle of pubs for sale in the region in last January 2022. Less than five months after seeing the article, the pub was opening up in time for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last June.
And David, 29, says that the business partners have been "going with the flow" ever since after opening in an extremely challenging climate. So far, they have relied on word of mouth to spread the word and say that they are now getting visitors from "coast to coast and fifty miles north and south".
