After many years, Adam and Janet are leaving the Farmhouse Inn, seeking new adventures while hoping for a smooth transition for the community.
Trowbridge: Adam Glass and Janet Harris are stepping down from their roles at the Farmhouse Inn after many years. They’ve been a big part of the local scene, and it’s a bittersweet moment for them.
The pub, located on Frome Road in Southwick, is now looking for new tenants. Janet mentioned that it’s time for them to move on, especially since she’s past retirement age and the industry is getting tougher.
Adam, who has spent 40 years in the business, echoed her sentiments. He’s sad to leave but feels it’s time to hang up his apron. He joked about possibly becoming a postman, but he’s not too sure about that idea.
The news has hit the local community hard. Many regulars are upset to see them go, as the Farmhouse has been a staple in their lives. Adam has made many friends there and hopes the pub will continue to thrive with new management.
Interestingly, their retirement news comes just as another local pub, The Lodge near Warminster, has closed its doors due to rising costs. Janet is hopeful that the Farmhouse will remain a beloved spot for locals, even with new tenants.
They plan to celebrate their time at the pub with a big farewell party, hoping to thank the community for their support. The Farmhouse Inn, a charming 17th-century building, is known for its home-cooked meals and selection of ales.
Wadworth, the brewery that owns the pub, is now on the lookout for new tenants who have experience in hospitality and can manage events. They’re hoping to find a couple or business partners to take over.
