I'm now running a pub in Rutland.
Discussion
After 26 years of one career I now find myself running a pub. Its The Kingfisher at Preston in Rutland.
Pistonhead members are most welcome to meet up here, Sunday lunches are excellent and served through to late afternoon!! ;)
Weekdays are quiet so come in and say hello, although I'm now hoping to get Monday and Tuesday off.
The weekly menu is also very good. Large well lit car park so plenty of room.
Any suggestions for meetings please ask.
Mention this post and I'll get you a Coca Cola :D

Quite tempted to visit your pub during the half term break with wife and wedge , if its dry overhead as we are only near Harbro' .
Hello combine, we've been in touch before but I've been very busy changing jobs etc etc and I'm ashamed to say my wedge hasn't been out for a very long time
Will be great to get a selection of cars turn up, even if nowhere near the Ashby Folville turnout!!

The owner of the Kingfisher is the Grainstore Brewery in Oakham.
Due to financial circumstances the owner had to close the Kingfisher this time last year and was intending to move into the pub as his private house.
I'm not sure if this happened as I moved to New Zealand where my £ goes further, the roads are quieter, the petrol is cheaper....
I have heard a whisper though that the owner of the Hornblower in Oakham wants to buy the Kingfisher...
