IT is one of the town’s most popular pubs, and the Famous King and Queen in Padgate is open once again.

The Padgate Lane watering hole reopened at 11am on Monday, July 6, after an enforced closure of more than three months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Standing at the bar is now banned, while temperature checks have been implemented and a protective screen has been installed for staff.
