Stuart Arnold, general manager at The Crown Hungry Horse, said: “We’ve had a fantastic time celebrating the reopening, and our Claydon neighbours really came out to support us. Our guests are at the heart of what we do, so it was great to be able to mark the reopening with the local community.
“It was a pleasure to welcome Derrick Haley, Chairman of the Mid Suffolk District, to enjoy the new offering, too – they really helped to kick off the festivities. We’ve already had great feedback on the revamped bar and the sports viewing areas, with many guests planning their next visit around the upcoming matches.
