The Three Tuns, an historic pub in Guilden Morden, has reopened after the community banded together to fund its renovation. A Grade II listed building that dates back to the 17th century, the pub closed down six years ago, but was listed as an Asset of Community Value in October 2014 under the Localism Act, enabling the community to buy and reopen it.
With 280 shareholders, it’s one of the only community-owned pubs in the region, and is already building a reputation for its great food offering and selection of local beer and wine. At the helm are Megan Friskey and her husband Peter, who brings a wealth of experience from senior chef positions at establishments like The Crown & Punchbowl, Horningsea.
