"OVER the moon."

That's the verdict from a pub landlord who has had to turn people away today as it has been so busy both welcoming regulars as well as new customers.

Simon Barber, who runs The Woodman on Manchester Road, with Liam Dickens, said today: "We are over the moon to reopen.

"We've got 120 capacity and by half-past 12 we were full.

"The community has come together. There's that many new people that we don't know - it's fantastic."

It has been a busy week for the pair, who have been counting down the days until reopening day and making sure they have been prepared. 

As well as increasing stock and capacity and introducing new lines, they've also introduced a pizza van.

Like in Naples Pizza will be in the carpark Monday and Friday from 6pm until 10pm and Saturday and Sunday from 4pm until 9pm.
