The Three Elms | After being closed for three months following an extensive kitchen fire, The Three Elms in North Wootton is re-opening on Friday 11th July, newly refurbished inside
and out, and with a newly created menu. Thirty four year old landlord Mark Ashman, and his partner Esther Payne moved from Bristol to take on the leasehold of The Three Elms in January. After refurbishing inside the pub for a month, Mark and Esther then opened in February, but on 7th April they woke in the night to a fire that completely destroyed the kitchen. The pub has been closed ever since.
“I can’t wait to re-open the doors of The Three Elms and restore it to its former glory. The fire was frightening and caused a huge amount of damage; it set my plans for the pub back by nearly three months. It will be great to see The Elms up and running, and back at the heart of the local community,” explains Mark.
As part of the re-launch, recently appointed head chef Ben Eastwood has designed new lunchtime and evening menus that centre on fresh and local produce. The
lunch menu includes homemade burgers, Lasagne Verdi and freshly made baguettes, and the evening menu features more elaborate dishes such as fillet of sea bream marinated in lemon and dill, and grilled pork loin topped with caramelised apples. A young, motivated and experienced team, Mark and Ben have each been in their respective industries for nine years. To complement the new menus, there is a thoughtfully compiled wine list, and guest ales will be a focus at the bar. Quiz nights, themed evenings and beer festivals will also be hosted on a regular basis.
“I would like The Three Elms to be renowned for serving delicious, honest food, great beer and guest ales, and fantastic wine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
It’s a pub for all seasons with spectacular views of Dorset in the beer garden and there will be a warming log burner inside by the winter. I look forward to welcoming
guests from near and far back to The Three Elms for many years to come,” concludes Mark. The Three Elms will open on Friday 11th July at 6pm. To make a reservation or for more information please call Mark on tel: 01935 812881.
