New Manager to help our village pub THRIVE again<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"20131212<\/p>\n

New manager at The Bull and Lion<\/strong>, Justin Hadley<\/strong><\/span>, pictured left, put in a plea: for the village to support his unchanged staff<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong> in their efforts to continue providing great pub food and a welcoming central village meeting-point for us all.<\/p>\n

Justin has described to Packington Post<\/strong><\/span> how he may have been misled when he took the tenancy of our village pub earlier this week.<\/p>\n

On making their purchase offer for the vacant tenancy, Justin<\/strong>\u00a0and his business partner, Julie Lester<\/strong>,\u00a0 had understood from the brewery that the previous tenants wanted to be out immediately – and could he take over at once? So he dropped everything, and on Monday this week arrived – to find the village seething over what one senior resident had publicly described as a “Shabby” takeover, with its precipitate removal by the brewery of the previous tenants the prior Friday.<\/p>\n

There appear to be implications of duplicity here by the brewery.\u00a0\u00a0 Justin was not the cause of the no-notice departure of the previous team leaders, who apparently only held a short-notice tenancy of the pub.\u00a0 Packington Post<\/strong> <\/span>understands that the previous team held a first-refusal to purchase the permanent tenancy, but had declined to do so.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Justin and Julie<\/strong><\/span> will try hard to regain the growing warmth and affection that previous tenants Mandy Mulholland<\/strong> and her family had engendered.<\/p>\n
