A SHIPLEY pub will re-open next week, creating up to 18 jobs.

The Noble Comb, Salts Mill Road, will open its doors on Wednesday, October 12, following a refurbishment.

The site has been taken over by the Hungry Horse pub chain and will include televisions in dining booths and improved children’s entertainment.

The re-brand has also created an additional 18 jobs, for a total of 46 posts at the pub and no job losses.

It was previously run by the Fayre & Square pub chain.

Paul Hannan, general manager at the Noble Comb, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be undergoing such a huge transformation.

“The Noble Comb has always been a popular destination for local families, so we’re pleased to be able to offer an even better surrounding for them to get together and enjoy some great food.”
