It’s smiles all round at a family friendly pub as it welcomes new management following temporary closure.

The Hunters Inn, in Swanmore, closed its doors for a brief hiatus at the end of July, while the team worked out how to ‘best operate’ the pub.

After weeks of being closed for a ‘refresh’ and change in management, the pub opened its doors once again on August 29, with Richard and Sonia the new faces of the boozer.

A spokesperson for The Hunters Inn Swanmore said: “Our new managers are named Richard and Sonia. They are local and have years of experience successfully running pubs.

“We have changed the menu to support local suppliers and focus more on quality over quantity with daily fresh specials.

“We are confident and hopeful that the management, chef, and menu updates will be enjoyed by our beloved and loyal customers.”

The Hunters Inn will continue hosting event nights including live music, bike nights and quiz evenings for customers to enjoy.
