PUB regulars Keith and Carol Sanders have jumped to the other side of the bar and bought their local.
After more than 30 years as loyal customers the couple have taken over the reins at the Boosbeck Hotel.
And the new owners have vowed to use their intimate knowledge of the pub to make it a success.
Keith said: "We have often talked about running our own pub so when the opportunity arose to take on our local we had to go for it.
"Carol and I both have a strong attachment to the Boosbeck Hotel. It's a pub in which we've spent a lot of time over the years and a pub we both care for. It still feels strange on the other side of the bar but we're enjoying it and are looking forward to getting stuck in."
