17 weeks ago today, we took on Ye Olde Red Horse.
It's certainly been a journey. We've faced more than our fair share of challenges, but we've overcome every single one of them, and we're only just getting started.
Here's just some of what we've achieved so far:
• Refreshed the walls and floors to breathe new life into the building. • Replaced every light bulb so the lighting is consistent throughout.
• Installed a new boiler, fridges, freezers, bottle coolers, cellar cooling system, ice machine (pending delivery), hotel beds and bedroom furniture.
• Made the frontage more welcoming with new outdoor seating and barriers.
• Increased sales by as much as 300% in some weeks.
• Welcomed Daisy, our rescue German Shepherd, to the family... along with her seven completely unplanned puppies! 🐶
We've navigated plenty of turbulence, but we're incredibly proud of where we are today. The business is moving in the right direction, and with everything we have planned for autumn, winter and beyond, we genuinely believe the best is yet to come.
To everyone who has visited, supported us, recommended us or simply popped in for a pint or a meal... thank you. It means more than you know.
And if you haven't been in since we arrived, consider this your little nudge... 👀
Come along for an Open Mic night, a Sunday roast, a few drinks, or even a stay in one of our rooms. This beautiful 600-year-old pub needs all the support it can get, and we'd love to welcome you through the door.
Love,
Josh & the entire team ❤️
(Including Baron & Daisy 🐾)
