Background information and history

  • 89% agree or strongly agree that the Three Tuns should be saved

  • 91% state the pub is  important or very important to them

  • 90%  would use the pub for home-cooked, traditional pub food

  • 74% would consider providing financial support for community ownership

We have a very strong management committee made up of 12 people from the village with a broad range of professional skills and experience to manage the purchase, renovations and appointment of an experienced pub tenant. 

Here are the answers to all the questions we could think of but if we haven't covered your question, please sent us an email.

In case you couldn't make the meeting, here's a copy of the presentation shown on the day.
