Furlong and Furrow shows new look ahead of Friday re-opening

Laura Davies and James Campbell have taken over the former Black A Moor Inn and given the former coaching in a complete make-over, as well as a re-brand.

The couple aim to offer the best gastropub food, something they gained an outstanding reputation for when they ran the Malt Shovel at Brearton, north of Harrogate.

The former Black-A-Moor at Bridge Hewick, close to Ripon Race Course, closed at the end of April for the refurbishment, but a ‘soft launch party’ is planned tomorrow from 6pm with live music, drinks and canapes.

She told the Press: “Everyone we’ve worked with have been incredible! We feel so welcomed to the community and are so excited to meet you all soon. 

“We’ve work still to carry out and the property is a work in progress, but one thing at a time. The main thing is getting those doors open so you can all enjoy exceptional hospitality as soon as possible. 

“Thanks a million Ripon and beyond for welcoming us and cheers to a bright future.”

Laura added: “It’s a gamble to take on a hospitality venue in today’s climate, but we are going against the crowd, risk takers- yikes. But we are confident with your support we can create a truly magical Venue for Ripon to be proud of!”
