A LANDMARK pub at a Somerset beauty spot is set to change hands.

An offer has been accepted for the Prince of Wales, at Ham Hill, with the “long process” of the sale now underway.

The Holroyd family – landlords Mike and Nikki and daughter Amy – confirmed the sale of the pub and said: “An offer has been accepted to buy our wonderful business.

“Please warmly welcome Andy and Sophie, Lisa and Mark, Rob and Leanne. “It’s the start of a long process, as we work our way through all the legalities but it’s fantastic news to know that the Prince Of Wales Ham Hill will be in such incredible hands.

“With family at the heart of this venture, we share many similar values which makes this such a great fit. We wish them all, every success.”

They added: “Many of you will know some or all of the perspective new owners, given their deep routed local connections.

“Please feel free to say hello if you see them and know they are very much looking forward to what the future brings.”
