A young family has made their ‘dream a reality’ by becoming the new owners of a popular pub in Pembrokeshire.

Ashley Andrews and Sukie Richards now run The Brewery Inn, Cosheston.

The couple who have a son named Romeo, and a dog called 'Sunday' took over the pub from former owners John Lowdon and Steven Lester last week.

Sukie Richards, co-owner of The Brewery Inn said: “We are very excited. Cosheston is a really friendly community. My partner Ashley has been a chef for the last 12 years and we’re excited to make this dream a reality.

“This is the first pub we have owned. We’re quite good friends with the previous owners so we don’t plan to change too much. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Ashley will soon introduce a new Winter menu and a Christmas menu.

“The reputation of the pub speaks for itself because it’s dog friendly and has a great community.

“We’re massive dog lovers as well and we will keep the tradition going. Ashley makes everything from scratch and all food is homemade. We are also focused on using local produce from Pembrokeshire.”
