THE Running Horse pub in Littleton has a new landlady.

Anita Peel took over around a month ago from her previous role at the Pilgrim Inn, in Marchwood, Southampton.

She said: β€œIt has been brilliant. I live in Winchester and have done for 20 years so I knew of the Running Horse and I think what Upham Brewery has done with it is great.”

It was taken over by the brewery around two years ago, and restored to a country style pub.

Ms Peel also previously worked as deputy manager of the Wykeham Arms in Winchester, from 2009 until 2012.
