Family restaurant 'King Billy' at Oldcotes open under new owners

A pub restaurant in the Worksop area is open for business after a brief period of closure to allow change of ownership.

Queensway Inns has taken over the former King William lV Brewers Fayre restaurant, Blyth Road, Oldcotes, Nottinghamshire, from Whitbread, as the latter company places more concentration on its Premier Inn chain.

People are now being welcomed back to the King William lV as it operates under its new owner on its site at Blyth Road within the village of Oldcotes.

It is described online as a ‘laid-back family pub and restaurant chain serving classic dishes and international favourites’, and opens from 12 noon to 10.30pm every day except Sunday, when it closes an hour earlier.

The Guardian understands that some of the former staff at the premises have been retained.
