The Stretton Fox is welcoming customers again today, Tuesday, after the pub closed on Boxing Day.

A spokesman for the pub said: "Closing the business down for the last two days was not a decision that was made lightly.

"Thank you to all for your kind words and understanding, we look forward to welcoming you all back today."
