A HEREFORD pub has announced it is under new management.
New manager Lewis Edkins took the helm at pub and gin bar Hogarths, in Commercial Road, on March 1.
He previously ran a Hogarths in Tamworth and recently moved to the city from Walsall.
“I wanted something a bit different, and bigger,” he said.

The pub’s beer garden will be undergoing a refurbishment that it is expected to be finished for Easter weekend.
It will also see new DJs and bands taking to the stage, with the first planned for this weekend.
“We are finding our feet at the moment and seeing what customers want,” said Mr Edkins.
The Hogarths chain, known for their wide selection of gins, has pubs in towns and cities across the country, including Blackpool, Bolton, Swansea, and Leicester.
On its website, Hogarths says it is a Victorian styled gin palace, providing the perfect mix between a traditional town centre pub and a modern-day cocktail bar.
"A warm welcome awaits in keeping with Victorian hospitality and tradition," it said.
"Each of our Hogarths mixologists are passionate, knowledgeable and like nothing better than assisting you and your party in choosing a drink from our extensive menu."
