Updates have been given on the future of two Nottinghamshire pubs. The Malt Shovel in Beeston was saved by Shipstone's Brewery last year.
The Union Street premises had been facing closure in October when its licensees at the time couldn't afford to keep the pub going amid the cost of living crisis. It remained closed for around a month until Shipstone's stepped in.
In a recent update, a spokesperson from owners Star Pubs & Bars told Nottinghamshire Live: "Shipstone's Brewery is currently running the Malt Shovel in Beeston on a temporary agreement. They are interested in leasing the pub on a more permanent basis.
