Alex and Gill have been working in the industry for many years and since their early days where they met at a wedding hotel; where Alex was executive chef and Gill was general manager/event manager, they soon turned their hand to pubs.
Since opening its' doors on 22 June 2018, the Black River Inn has not only become a local hub and village pub; Alex even went as far as proposing to Gill on Christmas Day 2019 in front of all the pub's Christmas Day locals and friends. But it has also become a destination venue, never failing to keep up to date with trends and ideas. During the pandemic, the couple took their inability to stop and do nothing to new lengths and became the local takeaway and delivery service. Gilliveroo (aptly named) called for walking door step deliveries around the locality, whilst Alex was creating weekly, takeaway menus that offered people tastes of the world; in a time where travel was impossible.
Now established, the guys have created a beautiful, welcoming place to come and eat and/or drink in with comfortable surroundings, stunning beer garden and where all are welcome.
