NEW landlords are in charge at a Stoke-on-Trent pub.

- Yasmin Sarwar

Landlady Kirsty Thornton and partner Pat have taken over The Corner Pin, in Longton, and have big plans to create a space for families to enjoy as much as their regulars.

The first-time publicans hope to create a room for children to play in as well as introducing 'pub grub'.

Kirsty ran On The Run cafe in Meir and Pat is continuing to run his building trade business.
