The new couple at the helm of the Bricklayer's Arms have gone from being customers to being at the helm of the Joule's owned inn in the space of six weeks.

It's the first job in the pub trade for Scott and Caroline Jenkins who swapped careers in software and publishing respectively to take their whirlwind leap into the licensed trade.

Caroline said: "When it came up we jumped at it. We weren't even expecting to be selected."
