Chris Humphries has lived in the city since he was 20 with his wife Claire who is born and bred in Preston.

He’s joined by Martyn Barnes as head chef and deputy manager Steven Larkin, both of whom have been working with him for the last three years at the Aspinhall Arms in Mitton.

The new landlord said: “I’m really looking forward to working with Martin to create our menu, hopefully forming strong relationships with some great new local suppliers. I love the idea of running beer festivals and evenings where customers can meet local brewers to find out more about their beers and taste what’s on offer locally.

“We are fortunate to have a wealth of brewers in the area to choose from and I would love to hear from our customers about what they would like us to stock.”
