Historic pub reopens promising top food and ale
The Hostelrie at Goodrich has been in the village for many years and was originally built in the 18th century.
Now with owner Aaron Ross and pub manager Corrin Franks at the helm, the Hostelrie has a new vision to be a rural pub with high-quality food and great tasting ales.

Corrin says being based very close to Goodrich Castle and right in the heart of the Wye Valley is a huge draw for not just the nearby village but also visitors such as walkers.
"We have a dedicated new team ready to welcome the locals back, Corrin said. It is a great pub, we have fantastic recipes and Goodrich has made it extra special by helping us."
The Hostelrie's chef is Corrin's daughter Amy, who has high hopes to give customers honest food in a friendly setting. Sourcing produce from Herefordshire and regional producers, everything will be cooked with care.
Also managing the nearby Cross Keys Inn just off the A40, Corrin adds that reopening Hostelrie "has been well received by the community."
The new team at the pub did a survey to find out what people's preferences and recommendations were for what makes a great community pub.
Out of 77 respondents, the top use of a pub was to use it for drinks and socialising. A popular feature was good quality, well-priced food, enjoying locally-brewed ales and also appreciating event such as quiz nights.
New positions are posted on the pub's website including front of house, a junior chef, bar staff and waiting staff.
"We have a new challenge and we have hopes to push forward and make Hostelrie succeed, Corrin said. The pub is in a beautiful part of the world."
A dog-friendly pub, a large beer garden on offer plus eight en-suite rooms, the Hostelrie has for far had good reviews on Tripadvisor.
Good Friday was the official relaunch date and one visitor describes attending the opening evening as "a wonderful night. What a difference! Treated to great food, the game pie was first class. Wye Valley beers on tap, fantastic hosts and lovely atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough."

The next meme stock? Timothée Chalamet named Lucid's global brand ambassador
American Eagle (AEO) has Sydney Sweeney. And now EV upstart Lucid Motors (LCID) has its own superstar. Lucid Motors announced it has signed a "multi-year partnership" with Oscar-nominated actor and "culture icon" Timothée Chalamet as the company's first-ever global brand ambassador. As part of the deal, Chalamet will star in Lucid's marketing push for the EV maker's upcoming Gravity SUV. Lucid claims the Chalamet tie-up comes as the star was spotted driving a Lucid Air sedan in 2023. "We're excited to welcome Timothée as our first Global Brand Ambassador," Akerho Oghoghomeh, senior vice president of marketing at Lucid, said in a statement. "Together, we'll show what's possible when innovation and cultural relevance come together to move the world forward." Chalamet's stardom has soared in recent years thanks to movies like the "Dune" series, "A Complete Unknown," and "Wonka." Increasingly, however, his off-screen exploits have caught mainstream attention, including his outward New York Knicks fandom, head-to-toe Chrome Hearts outfits, and relationship with fellow celeb (and beauty entrepreneur) Kylie Jenner. Lucid's connection with Chalamet comes on the heels of Sydney Sweeney's deal with American Eagle, the teen brand that has been suffering of late. Sweeney's deal to star in the brand's fall campaign (dubbed "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans") sent social media abuzz and American Eagle stock soaring last Thursday, with shares jumping 20% in pre-market trading before closing up 4.3%. While the Sweeney images and accompanying ad copy caused some controversy, the ensuing coverage coming American Eagle's way is still seen as a positive. American Eagle's CMO likened the Sweeney partnership to the denim brand's "Super Bowl." As for Lucid stock, news of Chalamet's signing hasn't lifted shares higher. Perhaps the "Dune" actor just needs better jeans. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance. You can follow him on X and on Instagram. Sign in to access your portfolio

Beyoncé fans brave scorching heat for Houston hometown kickoff of 'Cowboy Carter' tour
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is to set to light up Houston during the next stop of her "Cowboy Carter" tour. And fans are already braving scorching temperatures to witness the hometown opener. The Grammy-winning singer will launch her first concert in her hometown of Houston at NRG Stadium June 28. The show will mark her first Southern stop on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is poised to perform two nights only on June 28 and June 29. From the United States to Europe, Beyoncé and her fans have powered through severe weather conditions, including an evacuation, cold temperatures and pouring rain to experience her concerts. In Houston, it was the heat they had to beat with the first show landing on a scorching 91-degree day. Despite this, fans swarmed the stadium grounds ahead of the show--some lining up early to secure spots in the VIP pits and others enduring the sun for a chance at merchandise. Bridget and Meghan Ryan traveled to Houston from Wisconsin to see Beyoncé in concert for the first time. After several flight delays and scheduling hiccups, the sisters were determined to snag official merchandise ahead of Saturday's show. Like many other fans, they ended up standing in a long line in the heat. "We're both from the Midwest, so the humidity is a little extra than what we're used to. I figured staying hydrated would be a good plan,' said Bridget Ryan. "I think it was a come hell or high water kind of situation. Whatever the weather was going to do we were going to show." Their determination didn't stop there. "We even talked about if we don't get any today after sitting outside maybe we'll come back tomorrow and try the truck again,' Meghan Ryan said. The H-Town stop comes after Beyoncé wrapped the international leg of her tour – first with a six-night stint in London, followed by three dazzling nights in Paris. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.
