The Montgomery Pub in Eastham, is entering ‘an exciting new chapter’ under the leadership of newly appointed manager Vicky Dodd, bringing with it a fresh focus on community, quality food, and lively entertainment.
With more than 30 years’ experience in the hospitality industry, Vicky — originally from Chester but now living in New Brighton — brings what she described as ‘passion, warmth and creativity’ to her new role.
The mother-of-three and newlywed – married just six weeks ago to Matt – says she is determined to make The Montgomery ‘the beating heart of Eastham: a place for friends to gather, families to relax, and couples to enjoy memorable date nights’.
