Pubs

The White Cross Inn in Groeswen, near Caerphilly, is stepping up its mission to bring people together and tackle social isolation by expanding its calendar of community and charity events.

A derelict building for the last 10 years, The Plough in Elstree has reopened as a village inn, much to the delight of residents, who have been without a pub throughout this time.

It follows a £1.3m seven-month refurbishment by The Haslam family with support from Star Pubs, Heineken’s leased pub division. The Plough is the family’s third site with Star Pubs and brings their estate to eight.
