Licensee couple toast 25-year milestone
Dawn and Steve Hazelgrave started running the pub on 5 September, 1988.
Dawn said: “I was born and grew up around pubs and, before taking on the Queen, Steve and I ran the Royal Park in Headingley [in Leeds] for seven years.
“We jumped at the opportunity to take on the Queen, as the pub had always been a local favourite, but the biggest challenge has been running the pub on my own since Steve suffered a stroke three years ago.”
Andy Brady, Punch Taverns’ senior partnership development manager, said: “Dawn and Steve are fantastic operators and have put their heart and soul into the pub. I want to congratulate them on their hard work.”
