South Shropshire country pub closes as new owner prepares for refresh
The Three Horseshoes closed on Tuesday
A village pub between Bridgnorth and Ludlow has closed its doors, but the popular village inn is set to reopen under new management.
The Three Horseshoes in Wheathill, between Bridgnorth and Ludlow, closed on Tuesday (May 26).
However, it is good news for locals as Ludlow businesswoman Billie Urey-Guest will soon have her name above the door and is set to reopen the pub next month.
She said: “We get the keys on June 1 and we are going to give it a bit of a refresh with some new paint and then we’ll be having a grand reopening on June 6.”
The doors will reopen at 12pm for the event, which will feature a BBQ and live music.
The new landlady, who is originally from Telford, added that the pub would be open seven days a week from noon, with hot food in the evening (except Mondays) and a carvery on Sunday.
“I’ve been doing pub nights at the community hall and have a catering business but this is my first pub,” added Billie. “I am getting a bit nervous now but it is a lovely community and I’ve had a load of support.”
