NEW tenants are set to take over the reins of a pub in Kendal soon.

It was announced this week that the new tenants of The Heron, in Esthwaite Avenue, Mike and Rachelle, will fully take over the running of the pub in August.

A statement on the pub’s Facebook page on Wednesday said that Aspire Inns Management Company will ‘keep things ticking over’ for the next two months.

The publican pair announced they would be making ‘a few improvements’ to the pub over the next few weeks, including the introduction of new products, the installation of TVs and Sky sports, outside tables, new sound and tech system, new wifi as well as some new staff members.

The pair added: “Thanks again for bearing with us in this transition period, in the meantime come and watch the Euros football or just have a drink with friends.

“Thanks and see you all soon.”
