LOCAL MANAGER TAKES OVER AS NEW TENANT

The Manager of the Robin Hood Inn, Pecket Well, Hebden Bridge. Paul Turner has recently taken over as the new tenant from David Piece of Huddersfield. The Punch Pub Company approached Paul before Easter insisting he was the man to take the pub forward, knowing the pub needed a local figure to head things and they don�t come any more local than Paul, who can boast of actually being born in the Hebden.

Paul started his pub career at Armitage Fold WMC (Monkey Club) at the early age of 21 when he became the Club Steward. Paul spent just over 13 months at The Monkey Club before being appointed Club Steward back home in Hebden at The Hebden Bridge Sports & Social Club (HBSSC). Paul spent 2 1/2 years running his local club before deciding to turn his hand to Management. This took him to Scottish & Newcastle Breweries where he became a Relief Manager for Guynne Howells, in his 6 years as a Relief Manager Paul became very experienced in running all types pf pubs across the Country. Ranging from small quite Village pubs to very busy and loud City Centre venues, Paul gained a vast experience in many different Products, Pubs and more importantly People

Paul then became settled and based his Managerial experience running The Bay Horse at Oxenhope until his good friend & golfing companion Stanley Natynczyk realised he needed somebody of Paul�s popularity to come and finish his working career off by running The Robin Hood Inn for him. Paul did this, the pub went from strength to strength and Stanley was aptly due to Retire to sunny Spain.
Now Paul is looking forward to building the business by advertising the Highly Recommended Accommodation where he has 5 letting bedrooms, keeping up the High Standard of Home Made Food keeping up also with the Quality of one of The Best Pints of Real Ale in the Valley.

Paul is looking forward to continue support of his Locals and Invite New Customer along too, where they can sample his Homemade Food  & Ales also Good Company. There are still our regular Wednesday Pool Nights, Fun Quiz Night on Thursdays and of course Horse Racing on Saturday Afternoons,

 We still hold the odd Disco on a Saturday Evening.

We are open for food on Saturday & Sundays From 12.noon till 9.0pm.

It has been a pleasure to put this Mini Biography together and Hope people support Paul and The Robin Hood Inn.
