The Markham Arms on Dorset Drive, Brimington has a new couple at the helm – with Rebecca and James Hurd taking on the venue.
Rebecca was previously the general manager of the Hidden Knight on Soresby Street, and said that the Markham Arms was a “cracking pub.”
These 11 photos show customers what they can expect from the venue – which prides itself on ‘community atmosphere.’

3. Customers chipping in
Rebecca said that the venue needed some work when the pair took over, and that regulars were already volunteering their time to help them get the pub into shape. “It needed a few bits of work doing here and there, and we’ve tried to make it a bit more homely. We’ve had people that come into the pub offer to help with jobs, and they’re happy to just be helping and get a pint afterwards.” Photo: Brian Eyre
4. Family-friendly
A zero-tolerance approach to any anti-social behaviour has been made clear over the last eight weeks – something that Rebecca said customers were already grateful for. Photo: Brian Eyre
