A new operator has been found for Axminster’s Castle Inn
THE Castle Inn at Axminster is set to reopen on Friday.
Owners Punch Taverns confirmed yesterday that a new licensee had been found to take over the pub and hoped to be pulling pints by the end of the week.
The Castle closed suddenly around a fortnight ago when Landlords Dan and Lyndsey Ecclestone threw a farewell party and left.
It is understood that opposition to expansion plans needed to keep the business viable prompted them to call time.
A spokeswoman for Punch Taverns said they were delighted to have found a new operator for the Castle so quickly.
