A HEREFORDSHIRE market town pub is due to reopen this week with the arrival of new landlords.
The Rose and Lion pub, which is owned by nearby Wye Valley Brewery, will welcome Rob Spiers and Vikki Cox to oversee the running of the community venue.
After a short period of closure, the brewery announced that both Rob and Vikki have been "busy behind the scenes".

The brewery announced just over a month ago that it was searching for new landlords.
Known to Bromyard locals as "The Rosie" and "a town pub from the old school", Rob and Vikki say the pub should be open on Thursday August 7.
This venue, which is for drinking only, will be about no televisions, no music, just a place for the community to chat over a pint.
Rob said: "It is a challenge to get the pub ready but we're excited to give the pub back to the locals. It's a proper local boozer and we're really looking forward to meeting the people."
It has been a mammoth task to revamp the beer garden and get the inside of the Rose & Lion in good shape, but bringing the pub back to life in Bromyard is what both Rob and Vikki want to achieve.
Vikki said: "I'm looking forward to pulling pints and getting to know the locals. Bromyard is a great town and we've already had people ask when we are opening. It is a lifestyle for us both and we hope to see regulars and visitors to enjoy what the pub can offer."
