Rebecca Hurd, a former manager at Markham Arms, and her partner James, have taken over The Three Horseshoes on High Street, Brimington, this week.
As their previous pub is being sold, they took everything that made Markham Arms special with them – including plants and a library corner for the youngest visitors.
We’ve been along to have a look at their new pub and to see how The Three Horseshoes has changed under new management.

4. Zero tolerance for drugs and antisocial behaviour
Rebeca, who made it clear at Markham Arms that the pub have zero tolerance for drugs and antisocial behaviour, wants to introduce the same values at the new venue. She said: “We don't want a group of lads in, swearing at the top of their voices – we have a lovely community with families and kids and we hope our regulars will follow us up the road to Three Horseshoes."
