TOGETHER they made it the best pub in Herefordshire – now Glynn and Kate Hopkin have called time on The Chequers Inn.
The husband and wife team have sold the pub in Leominster after three years in charge and several awards.
The pair sold the freehold to independent Shropshire firm, the Charnwood Pub Company.
The Chequers has won several awards for its real ale and atmosphere during the pair’s three-year tenure.
The biggest came nine months ago when CAMRA judges crowned it the best in Herefordshire.
The sale was conducted by Christie and Co of Bristol and Matthew Phillip Surveyors. It was bought for around £800,000.
