Cubbington pub which closed unexpectedly is set to re-open under new management
A Cubbington pub which closed suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year is set to re-open in the coming weeks.
In April Wayne Quinlan, the previous owner of the King’s Head in Church Hill, made the “difficult decision” to close the pub due to the recent “sudden and untimely” death of his sister Sharon.
The popular pub has been closed since but a post on the King’s Head’s Facebook page on Sunday (September 27) has announced that the keys to the establishment have been handed over.
It says: “We can finally confirm Cubbington’s worst kept secret.
"We’ve got the keys to The King’s Head.
“Pete and Matt are taking it on and we’re really excited about what comes next.”
It adds: “More than anything, we want this to be a proper village pub again.
"A place for the community, where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re popping in for a pint, bringing the family, meeting friends, having some food or just a chat at the bar.
“This is your pub and the aim is to bring it back to you.
“We’ve got lots of ideas and plenty of work to do, but we want the community to be part of the journey with us.
"We’ll be sharing updates as we go and we can’t wait to open the doors and welcome you in.”
The pub is due to re-open “in approximately three to four weeks” and in the comments section of the Facebook post there is a suggestion that a new kitchen could be installed and a chef appointed at some point.
