Pub goes back on the market after couple pull out of running the business

A pub on the busy A143 at Great Barton, reknowned for its carveries, is back for sale after a couple pulled out of taking on its tenancy.

Lesley and Jim Callinan, who already run the Pykkerrell Inn, in nearby Ixworth, had intended to become the new tenants of the Bunbury Arms, which closed in January this year, and had hoped to reopen it.

However, they have pulled out of the deal and brewers Greene King has put the pub back on the market.

The couple said there was a lot of work which needed doing to The Bunbury Arms and Greene King said they “fully respect” the couple’s decision and were continuing to look for a new partner to work with.
