There have been some recent changes at the Packington Bull and Lion – but villagers can now hope for a period of friendly stability at the pub, with the help of new manager Debbie Robinson.

No stranger to the Bull and Lion, Debbie has already been a regular customer for six years, even though living twenty minutes away in Gresley. Appointed to manage by lease-holders Phil and Emma as from 4th February 2019, Debbie has her heart set on fully maintaining the happy atmosphere she has previously enjoyed here:

• YES! Family- and dog- friendly
• YES! Same enthusiastic village staff
• YES! Quiz nights on Tuesdays, starting at 9 pm, £1 per person
• YES! Classic Cars on the first Monday each month – April through September – starting at 6 pm
• YES! O’Regan’s Pop-up Pizza nights on those Mondays, too!
• YES! Egg throwing event!

A new chef is still needed to restore the food service, and Debbie is then keen to move on from the present temporarily-restricted opening hours:

• Mondays 4pm – 10 pm
• Tuesdays – Thursdays 4 pm to 11 pm
• Fridays – 3 pm to midnight
• Saturdays – noon to midnight
• Sundays – noon to 11 pm
