“I’m bringing back the community feel and want it to be a home away from home.

“I’ll be offering free chip butties at the weekend; they fill my till and I’ll fill their bellies.”

He has been brought in after unsuccessful management and plans to change the pub’s reputation.

Jake also plans for the popular quiz night to return.

He said: “So many pubs are closing and I will not let that happen.

“The upstairs is mine and the downstairs is theirs.”
