THE owners of a pub have taken over its day to day management for the first time.
Steve and Jennifer Waller are the new landlords at the John O’Gaunt in Sutton. They will be assisted by their daughter, Suzanne Hargreaves.
They bought the pub when it went up for sale two years ago. They began serving drink on Friday (March 23) and punters will be able to dine in from Tuesday (April 3) once the chef has moved in.
The Wallers moved to the area a decade ago and they live in Potton Road in Biggleswade. The John O’Gaunt soon became their local.
Now that they have taken the reins they have added an extension to back of the building and they intend to sell more meals.
Jennifer and Steve have never run a pub before, although Steve has worked behind the bar at a golf club.
Jennifer said that the majority of her customers love the changes that have been made but added that the business will always be a pub rather than completely transforming into a restaurant.
