The wait is over and Kingsbarns now has its very own Community Pub! It’s an exciting milestone for Kingsbarns and will present a wealth of opportunities for the community as it develops into a ‘hub’ in the coming months and years.
The Inn is under new management with Mark Lewis at the helm. Mark has a wealth of experience in hospitality and is looking forward to welcoming the lovely folks of Kingsbarns to The Inn. We are also delighted that Anne Ramsay, a familiar and friendly face of The Inn, will continue to work in the pub alongside Mark, and will be instrumental in ensuring operations run smoothly during the transition phase to community ownership.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Annette, Maxx, and the team, for their help, support, and patience throughout the process.
As you can imagine, we have a lot do during this phase and whilst we are excited about having an ‘official’ launch party soon, we will be taking things one step at a time over the next week or two, just to get us up to speed with operations and staffing. We also have an amazing team of volunteers, who will help accelerate this process.
However, we are very much open for business so why not pop in for a drink and say hello to Mark, Anne, and the team. You’ll be most welcome, and please bear with us as we find our feet.
Finally, we are pleased to report the Share Offer is going well and we’ve extended it until the end of August, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to buy a share(s) and have a say in how The Inn is run. Shares start from £25, and you can find all the information you need and the application form on the KCDT website: https://kingsbarnsdevtrust.org/community-share-offer/
Thanks again to all of you for your help and support thus far! The community should be proud of this phenomenal achievement 👏👏🍾
We will keep you posted about a date for the launch party 🎉 everyone is welcome!
