We visited a Shropshire countryside pub which is much loved by the residents of the village and is known as a hub for celebrations
It's a pub which is run by a couple who used their decades of experience to keep up the traditions of the pub as a vibrant hub for celebrations and a place with great beer and food.
The New Inn in Baschurch is a prime example of a pub which has become a vibrant and friendly pub with a warm welcome, a hot and home-cooked meal and a range of cold drinks.
Since 2016, the owners of the pub have invested a six figure sum in terms of upgraded toilets, new bar area, new internal and garden furniture, resurfacing the car park, refurbished the 1st floor flat as staff accommodation, upgraded the kitchen, new energy efficient heating and lighting.
The pub is run by Daron and Dawn Lloyd, who took on the running of the pub from Graham and Claire Jenkins in 2022, with Daron saying he and his wife had decided to take on the pub after taking a look at it and seeing the potential.
He said: "We don't own the building, Graham and Claire do, and they asked myself and Dawn whether we would take it on, as we'd been in pubs for 30 years, and we did debate whether it was the right time, but we said yes as I think it's the best one that serves food and is a type of gastro pub.
