Britain's poshest pub reopens its doors – with pints for under a fiver
Yorkshire Evening Post

The pub dubbed Britain's poshest has re-opened this week after being shunned by locals put off by sky high bar prices.

The Windmill Inn, in the village of Linton, near Wetherby, opened its doors vowing to offer good value drinks with pints costing as little as £4.80.
The watering hole, which dates back to 1564, suddenly closed it doors in late January when the previous landlady left.
Some locals blamed the high prices for snubbing the hostelry which is in an area renowned for having many wealthy residents and with house prices in one street averaging £1.7m.
Former celebrity residents include ex soccer star Rio Ferdinand and Del Boy actor David Jason.
Now new leaseholders Sharon, 58, and Simon Colgan, 59, have reopened its doors and the villagers are “over the moon”.
