Grace Goodlad and Duncan Borrowman have won a whole stack of awards from CAMRA from when they ran the Orpington Liberal Club.
Now they’ve taken on a new challenge and have bought a pub in Oswestry.
The local paper, the Shropshire Star, covered The Bailey Head’s opening earlier this week. They even have video of the event:
Duncan is quoted as saying:
He said: “We’ve been looking for a pub that was actually in the heart of the community that we could turn into a community pub for some time, and this is probably only the second pub in 18 months that we’ve seen, that we really feel this way about, and we’re excited.
“We want to welcome everyone, people of all ages, families, men and women, children during the day.
“Whether you want to come in for a pint of real ale, craft beer, Wrexham Lager or genuine German pils or sit down with a coffee and a newspaper, which we will have available in the pub, we want to welcome you.
“We are also keen to welcome small community groups and have now put up a community notice board which we are wanting to fill. We really want to draw the community in.”
Good luck to them both. We know a lot of our readers like their beer, so a trip to Oswestry may be in order.
You can follow their adventures on the Bailey Head website, Twitter and Facebook.
