Over the weekend. Sir John Whittingdale visited the Quart Pot freehouse pub in Runwell, in his constituency.
The visit comes after this local business has recently undergone substantial expansion and improvement with a £454,000 investment from its owner, the Stonegate Group. Sir John was delighted to be shown around to see the Pub’s new renovations by Nick Naveen, the Stonegate area Manager, and Gemma Corstun-Love, the Manager of the Quart Pot.
Sir John said of his visit: “it was great to see the pub full on a Friday lunchtime and playing such a central part in the life of Rettendon and Runwell villages. Stonegate own a number of pubs across the constituency and I am delighted to see that they have made such a substantial commitment to the Quart Pot. Gemma and her team are doing a great job and have clearly built a highly successful business”
