Pub has reason to cheer

A PUB which called time last month is to reopen its doors this week after being rescued by one of its neighbours – a brewery.

The Half Moon at Pool-in-Wharfedale is facing a brighter future after the WharfeBank Brewery, which is less than half a mile away, helped out.

Brewery chief Martin Kellaway said: “We’re delighted to have been able to step in and save this pub from closure.

“Only working around the corner I know how much of a part of the local community it is. It really is a ‘proper local’ and it would have been criminal for it to just disappear, as so many pubs are doing currently.”

WharfeBank Brewery also runs The Fleece at Otley.
