Praise for Peter after pub’s neglected patch is prettified

Pub manager Peter is pictured proudly holding a silver gilt award for renovation work on the side garden at The Wagon & Horses.

The Small Business Award came from Yorkshire in Bloom for the small garden, following a reclamation project over the summer.

Peter said: “It was just a patch of wasteland before. It’s not part of our customer area, yet did look untidy, so we decided to do something about it.

“The award is for the pub and everyone involved in the work – and it’s brilliant that this has been recognised.”

The pub was recommended for the award by local parish councillors who helped with the project. The garden has also been replanted with rosemary, mint and other herbs, as well as bright flowers.
