Harrogate’s Nelson Inn on the lookout for recruits ahead of grand reopening
Harrogate’s popular Nelson Inn pub is set to reopen under new management with a range of exciting opportunities.
This article is sponsored by Brunning & Price.
When the opportunity to inject a new lease of life into an historic Harrogate pub arose, Sam Aston jumped at the chance.
The new manager has moved to the town from the Isle of Wight with her six-year-old Bouvier des Flanders dog, Bear.
She will be leading a new team at the 18th century Nelson Inn pub, near Hampsthwaite, which is set to reopen in November.
Sam brings with her a wealth of experience, having been in hospitality her whole life, and she is "chomping at the bit" to get open.
She said:
"I am so excited to take up my new role in this beautiful, historic inn, which dates back to 1776.
"Customers can expect a warm welcome, good cask beers, freshly cooked food, delicious and affordable wine and a good shelf of malt whiskies and gins. A gluten-free menu will also be available.
"I love to try to new food and local beers and gins and I can't wait until we launch our fantastic new menu.
"I also really enjoy walking with Bear in the countryside, so the location of the inn is perfect as there are so many lovely walks to explore in the area.
"I'm really looking forward to opening in November."

The Nelson Inn, just off Skipton Road, was first built in 1776 and was a private house until the early 19th century.
It was given its name following Nelson’s victory during the Battle of Trafalgar.
It has been taken over by Brunning and Price, which has a portfolio of 80 pub restaurants, including the Highwayman in Kirkby Lonsdale and the Bull at Broughton.
A major restoration and refurbishment of the inn is currently underway.
Join the team
The Nelson is now looking for staff to join Sam and the team, with a range of exciting opportunities available.
They include roles in management, as well as chefs, front of house, cleaners and gardeners.
Part time and flexible hours are available and full training will be offered.
Brunning and Price will be hosting recruitment days at Killinghall Village Hall on Thursday, October 13 and Friday, October 14.
A further open day will be held on October 20.
