The Hinchliffe Arms: See inside cosy Calderdale village pub that has reopened and has new owners

A popular Calderdale village is welcoming people back through its doors.

The Hinchliffe Arms, on Church Bank Lane in Cragg Vale, had been shut since January but reopened yesterday (Saturday) under two new owners.

Business partners and friends Keri Ivory-Connor and Leanne Halewood are both from the Calder Valley and have always talked about running a pub together.

Both have worked in the hospitality industry for years, with Leanne even previously having worked at The Hinchliffe.

Keri, who lives in Hebden Bridge, and Leanne, who lives in Mytholmroyd, say they are keen to provide a warm welcome to both new and familiar faces.

“The Hinchliffe came up and was the right pub at the right time,” said Keri.

"We know people round here and what they want.

"We want to keep it as a classic country pub with good pub food that is locally-sourced.

"We want people to know that when they come inside, there will be warm welcome for them."
