A once popular pub in Hereford is set to reopen under new management. The Victory on St Owen Street has been undergoing a refurbishment ahead of Saturday’s big reopening.

Owner Jim Kenyon has leased the pub out to Jonathan Jones who Jim says is the new ‘captain of the ship’.

Jim said: “My good friend JJ has become the new captain of the Victory ship. He has leased the pub and has been working very hard to get it shipshape ready for this Saturday’s grand reopening. I wish him the very best success.”
