Krista Campbell, pictured, who’s taking over and who has worked at a range of licensed premises in the region, says she doesn’t want to change things, but rather prefers to turn it into “a good local again”, with music, sports, and over the next couple of weeks, food too.

Vocal acoustic guitarist Cody, who plays music “from Ed Sheeran to The Kinks”, is booked for Friday (Aug 26), and local vocalist Matt Squire performs on Saturday.

“He’s going to be doing a bit of swing and a bit of soul,” said Krista, who says she also hopes to open up the pub garden as soon as possible.
