Popular Derbyshire pub to host open day for potential new landlords

Last week Roger Barraclough, 62, and his wife Linda, 59, who have run The Crown in Killamarsh since July 1992, announced they will not renew their lease with Punch Pubs when it expires in November.

The pub and bar operator is now seeking a new management team for The Crown, which would also save 12 jobs currently at risk due to its potential closure.

Mandy Southall, operations director at Punch Pubs said: “As we look to recruit for a new Publican to take the helm at the Crown in Killamarsh we have arranged for our local team to hold a coffee and chat day at the pub on 8 October from 11.30am to 4pm, kindly hosted by Roger and Linda.

"We look forward to meeting you and if you wish to make an appointment for the day please call our Recruitment Team on 01283 501999.”
