The end of one era, and the beginning of another: Head Chef, Ali, has become the proud proprietor and landlord of the Blacksmith’s Arms, taking over from Pete Trafford.
As Ali said, “Both Pete and Hils have built such a successful pub and our team hope to carry this on.
The Blacksmith’s team won’t be changing too much... you will still find Pete behind the bar!”
Ali went on to thank all of the locals and other customers who have loyally supported the pub during the past difficult year.
For our part, the locals would like to thank Pete (and Hils), Ali and all of the Blacksmith’s Arms team for the amazing job they have done during the last 12 months, providing takeaway food and meal boxes together, of course, with Arkwrights Store at the height of the pandemic.
We wish the whole team every success for the future at the start of this new chapter in the life of The Blacksmith’s Arms.
