Locals are hoping that the place they describe as a lovely spot with great food and drink will be saved by a new operator. Residents in Sherwood were surprised to see a 'lease this pub' sign put up outside the Crafty Teller since it's so popular.
The pub, in Mansfield Road, was opened by Anthony Dowling in 2018 after a £225,000 makeover to transform it into a plush family-friendly bar and kitchen. It had previously been Finnbars, an Irish bar with live bands, karaoke and disco nights
The contemporary-style pub serves barista-style coffee, cocktails, craft ales and food, from breakfasts and burgers to Sunday roasts. The decor is a talking point too with neon signs and cool artwork by Cornish graffiti artist Sketch including chimpanzees.
