Hi Bambam. We heard yesterday that someone will be following our present landlady in taking over the reins of the Prince. Good news for the regulars. No names as yet but plenty of speculation

Update on The Prince situation. Problem with the pub and hear that Shaun won't be taking over as planned. hoping the situation can be resolved asap and the place opens up again
