The Cellar House in Eaton is set for some changes as Simon and Jenny Turner take over management of the watering hole.

"We are very excited to be taking the iconic Cellar House into a new era and have some big and exciting plans for a signature dining room and stunning landscaped garden," said Simon.

"We have teamed up with Brick Pizza and will be serving some of their top flavours for the first few weeks while we prepare the kitchen.

"A full menu will follow soon."

"I'm really pleased that lots of staff will stay on, so lots of familiar faces will still be behind the bar.

"I've no doubt that it will remain a huge asset to the Eaton community."
