BRIGG LANDLADY LEAVING TOWN TO TAKE OVER HIGHLY-RATED VILLAGE PUB

A Brigg landlady is moving to take charge of a village pub in South Lincolnshire, which she will be running with her partner.
Sarah Ryder will serve her final 'table service' customers at the Woolpack on Friday (April 30).
She will be retaining overall control of the licensed Market Place hostelry and is in the process of appointing a manager to run the Woolie on a day-to-day basis for her.
After Sarah heads south, the Woolpack will remain open; there will be NO temporary closure period.
She is moving to the quaint Kings Head at Freiston, near Boston - a pub renowned for its real ales and meals.
"Google it!" she suggested to us. A check later revealed it has received many very favourable ratings from customers; it's 4.5 (out of 5) star rated on Trip Advisor.
Sarah, who hails from Derbyshire, came to Brigg two years ago to take charge of the Woolpack. She later became chairwoman of Brigg Pubwatch, an organisation which represents local licensees.
While running the Woolpack, she also kept a management eye on another pub in South Yorkshire - making her a particularly busy (land) lady!
She is pictured here outside the front entrance to the Woolpack a couple of days ago when she stopped us to pass on news about her departure.
