Grimston, Saxelbye & Shoby community buy their historic village pub

The Black Horse Community Group (BHCG) are pleased to announce that due to the generosity of the community, the UK Government and the pub owners (Haydn, Sally and David Wakefield) we have been able to purchase the Black Horse pub in Grimston. The contracts were exchanged and completed today (9 May).
We now start the hard work of carrying out a renovation and repair program to enable the pub to reopen later in 2023. At the same time we will be looking to secure someone willing to take on the tenancy of our community-owned pub and details will be on our website soon.
Mike Petty, Chair, said “this has only been possible due to the support of the community, the pub owners, and the government’s Community Ownership Fund. We are also grateful for the support from our Parish Council, the Plunkett Foundation, Melton Borough Council, our Ward Councilor and our MP”
