She was recently a councillor for Driffield, and has worked on a number of community projects supporting and fundraising for Air Ambulance and local football teams to be able to buy their kits. 

Rhian said: “I am very pleased to be running the Tiger Inn and am excited to see everyone back in their local enjoying great drinks and entertainment in mine and the team's company.

"The works that have been carried out have made the venue look brilliant, it has been given a new lease of life. The team and I hope to see as many of you as possible and look forward to this new chapter of the pub.”
