The popular village pub turned from a derelict building into a hit with locals
As pubs continue to battle the cost of living crisis, the Shropshire Star continues its Love Your Local series which celebrates our local inns.
The Huntsman of Little Wenlock is a family-run pub that has become a hit in the village since the current owners took over 12 years ago.
In 2010 Catherine and Peter Morris bought what was a derelict site at the time but, after a major refit, it was brought back to life to become a beautiful village pub.
The pub is based on Wellington Road, Little Wenlock, Telford.
Looking back at those early days, Peter says: "We were from the motor trade initially and this was the first time running a pub and so it was a challenge.
"We bought the site in 2010, started a major refit and then after an awful lot of man hours, a lot of money, we opened in November 2011 ahead of the Christmas trade.
"Opening ahead of Christmas was important for us and it helped us get off to a good start.
"There was a major transformation of the site as it was a derelict site set within a beautiful village at first but we put a lot of time and effort into making it what it is today, and now it has become a very popular site 12 years on."
