George Armstrong Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Good news at last. Following several months of a protracted battle with Herefordshire Council's Licensing Department, new landlords Gary & Sonia CALDWELL have received their premises licence following the Licensing Department withdrawing their objections earlier this week. The new team received a wealth of support, ranging from other local landlords, the RW Mayor, Hereford BID, Herefordshire CAMRA to name but a few. This lost jewel of an ancient inn is now open, offering a wide range of Irish food, drink and live entertainment. Let's hope that Herefordshire punters can support this new venture by sampling some real Dublin-brewed Guinness etc, all in moderation, of course.

adamski Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yep, good luck to them. I particularly like the sound of the Irish Guinness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 This is good news and I wish them the best of luck. What were the original objections from the licensing department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Armstrong Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 They were published on the Council website in advance of the hearing. Too lengthy to reproduce here. However they were abandoned once the full circumstances were aired - hence the hearing cancelled. According to their website, The Grapes are putting on a big programme of live music events as well. Consequently I think this place is going to be a great addition to the Hereford scene, and deserve our full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
