A HISTORIC pub bought by a co-founder of fashion label Superdry will reopen this summer.

Entrepreneur Julian Dunkerton snapped up The Crown in Minchinhampton in September 2018 and is set to add it to his Lucky Onion group of hotels, restaurants and pubs.

Works to transform the 300-year-old hostelry, which closed in 2012, are now well underway.

Other establishments in the Lucky Onion Group include No. 131, No. 38 The Park, The Tavern and Gin & Juice in Cheltenham, and The Wild Duck near Cirencester and The Wheatsheaf Inn, Northleach.
