The Wyche Inn reopens with David Cotterill and Pamela Fleming. They aim to restore its past glory and create a welcoming space.
They worked there for almost twenty years and helped it win an award back in 2018. They believe they can recapture its former popularity.
The pub closed for a month due to the end of the old lease. Cotterill’s friend was buying it and asked them to manage the pub.
Cotterill said this is their first pub to run. They are excited and nervous, eager to make it excellent.
They loved working there before COVID but left because of the uncertainty. Now, they manage it and are happy.
The Wyche Inn offers a variety of drinks, featuring ales from Ledbury and Colwall. They also serve classic pub food, like scampi, burgers, and lasagne.
They plan monthly entertainment, starting with a live band on March 15th. A new pool table is installed, and they will add a log burner soon.
Cotterill aims for a family-friendly place, offering a warm, welcoming bar and restaurant. The reopening was a success.
The first weekend was amazing, and this week has been good too, he noted. Cotterill has lived near the pub for years and now resides in the pub itself.
