The Heworth Inn in York and the Red Lion at Poppleton are to re-open.

The reopening comes as the pub operator is seeking tenancies and staff for a range of pubs in the York area.

Recently, the Heworth Inn closed with the premises at 64 Heworth Green seen in darkness.

The pub, which has rooms, is highly rated, receiving 4.5 stars, or ‘excellent’ on TripAdvisor, ranking it 67th out of 193 B&Bs in York.

However, in its last review, the venue just received one-star on the website.

Stonegate has also revealed that the Red Lion at Poppleton, which was closed by Fleet Catering of Northallerton a month ago, will re-open shortly.

Fleet Catering blamed the closure of the venue on higher running costs, making the roadside pub on the A59 Boroughbridge Road no longer viable.

A spokesperson for Stonegate said: “The Red Lion is currently closed, due to a change-over in management. A new publican has been appointed and the pub will be open for usual trade shortly. To keep up to date with the latest news, please visit The Red Lion’s website, or Facebook Page.”
