Visitors to The Pack Horse Inn in Northumberland might be tempted to ask new landlady Linny Simpson for ID. At 22, she’s believed to be the youngest female licencee in Northumberland, possibly in the UK.
She’s taken on former North East Chef of the Year Gabor Pusztai and transformed the old inn’s interior and garden.
