Popular landlady Beccy Webster has spoken of her sadness to be leaving The Elwes Arms in Carlton but says ‘it’s for the right reasons’.
Beccy today (Monday, 7) revealed via a post on the pub’s Facebook page that she would be giving up as landlady after 15 years in charge.
The 32-year-old was just 18 when she took over the pub on Oakdale Road in 2005 – making her the youngest landlady in the country at the time.
But Beccy today said will now hand over control of the Elwes so she can spend more time with her family
She will continue running The Gedling Inn, which she took over in 2019.
She told Gedling Eye: “There are simply no words to describe the time I have had over the last 15 or more years at the Elwes.
“There has been so many parties, weddings, meals and, sadly, funerals here. It has all been a journey that I have literally grown up in.
“So many people at The Elwes hold a special place in my heart and I have worked there over half of my life
“It was the hardest decision to make but the right one for the right reasons.
She added: “Hopefully everyone will stay in touch and come and visit me at The Gedling Inn where my latest adventure in this crazy trade continues.”
