A venue that was closed after the landlord took control of the site earlier this year is set to reopen under experienced new management.
A local couple with an established independent business in the area have recently signed a deal to take over the popular country club just outside Westbury formerly known as The View, on White Horse Country Park, on Coach Road.
Having established Legends Sports Bar in Trowbridge over three years ago, Liam and Natalie Bennett have said they are “delighted” to be taking over the picturesque venue which will be now known as The Westbury Vale.
As previously reported in this paper, the View Westbury closed suddenly in April after the leaseholder took control of the site.
The leaseholder alleged that this came after “a period in which financial obligations under the sub-lease agreement were repeatedly not met”.
Now, however, the venue is set for a new chapter, with Liam and Natalie saying that they are “really excited” about the new venture which they are looking to make Westbury-focussed.
Liam, also the landlord at Legends, continued: “As well as looking to build on the venue’s fantastic location for weddings and other celebrations, we’re aiming for The Vale to be a Westbury-based home for the local community.
“We are really keen to re-establish links with Westbury Golf Club and other local Sports Clubs as well as with the Blue Circle and Veterans’ communities to offer something really special for local people in and around Westbury.

“Food will be on offer seven days a week with fairly priced cooked breakfasts, paninis, light lunches and pub classics available.
“We’re also looking to reach out to local groups who would like to use The Vale during the daytime for community activities such as children’s play sessions, arts and crafts, get togethers, coffee mornings and fitness groups.”
In addition, the couple will be looking to offer fresh coffee and cake at the venue as well as cream teas.
Cyclists will also be very welcome and the couple intend to install cycle-friendly facilities to encourage pedal-powered customers to take in refreshments in the gaze of Westbury White Horse.
The intention is for the newly-branded venue to be open in time for the Football World Cup.
The couple also said that anyone who has not had bookings fulfilled through the venue in the recent past is welcome to contact them at The Westbury Vale via email at thewestburyvale@gmail.com .
They added that they are also offering their assurances that they will be contacting people who have so far been unable to use the venue for previously booked weddings or other celebrations to discuss potential solutions with them.
