A village pub has changed hands.

The Gate Inn, on Weston Road in Honeybourne, has new owners.

Previous landlords Martha and Jason Watt have stepped away from the businesses following six years behind the bar.

On Monday they took to the pub’s Facebook page one last time to say their goodbyes.

The post read: “What can we say... it's been a wild old ride.

“In case you didn't know we left the pub today after nearly six years.

“It's been a privilege and pleasure to have met you all and an honour to call you our friends.

“Thank you so much for your support it's been overwhelming and we are quite sad to have left you all, but mostly knackered.

“We will miss the fun, laughter and banter and all of our very dear friends.

“Would like to wish Matt Henson and Andy all the very best they're inheriting some of the most amazing people that we have met. Please be as good to them as you have been to us.

“They will be brilliant for the pub and the village.”

Dozens of well-wishers showed their support following the announcement.

One user, Julie Field, commented: “I wish you all the best in your next chapter and hope you'll be very happy and have a good rest.”

Another, Adam Wearing, wrote: “All the best to you both, you've been friendly and welcoming from the off to me since I moved over here.”
