Just to remind those who would like to come and celebrate Linda’s retirement on Thursday 23rd July from 6pm ♥️

After more than 40 years of welcoming customers through our doors, the time has come to celebrate a truly special retirement ❤️

Linda has been part of this pub for over 40 years and has proudly completed 40 years with Hydes Brewery, making her their longest serving employee. An incredible achievement and one that deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

Over four decades, Linda has become so much more than a member of staff. For generations of customers, she’s been one of the first faces they’ve seen walking through our doors - always welcoming, always caring and always helping make this pub feel like home.

Her loyalty and dedication have been nothing short of remarkable.

After a year that has brought change and reflection, Linda has decided the time is right to begin a new chapter and enjoy a retirement that is more than deserved.

Linda, thank you for everything you’ve given to this pub, to Hydes, and to everyone lucky enough to have worked alongside you or been looked after by you over the years. Your kindness, hard work and presence will always be part of this pub.

Please join us on Thursday 23rd July from 6pm as we celebrate Linda’s retirement, and wish her all the happiness on this exciting new chapter.

Linda, we’ll miss you! ♥️
