Owners of Sheffield pub at 'heart of the community' lay out future plans as temporary management steps in
The New Inn, on Hollinsend Road, near Gleadless, shut its doors at the end of May after its long-serving managers, Nic Barber and Gill Oxley, left the venue following 14 years of service.
At the time, the outgoing management turned to Facebook to say: “Just want to say a massive thank you to all our customers for an absolute fantastic 14 years. We've had a blast.

The popular site remained closed for a number of weeks, as owners Star Pubs sought out new management.
Last Saturday (June 21), temporary management reopened the pub, with customers welcomed back to one of their favourite watering holes.

“The pub will continue to play an important role at the heart of the community and host events.”
