Former Sheldons pub in Margate reopens with new name and new landlord.

Sheldons is not The Fox and The Hound with Jonathon at the helm.

The former Sheldons pub in Margate High Street, which closed towards the end of last year, has reopened with a new landlord and a new name.

This week it reopened as The Fox and The Hound with former Northern Belle landlord Jonathon Wood at the helm.

Jonathon and husband Jason received the keys in December and the spent two months refurbishing the venue and say there is still more to do.

Jonathon said: “Sheldons is the only pub in the High Street and when it closed, regardless of its history, it was missed by many.

“My friend Phil got me a meeting with the owner and The Fox and The Hound became a thing.

“My husband Jason chose the name and will be doing all the social media for the pub.”

The former Truman house was rebuilt in 1935 and was originally named the Saracen’s Head.

The name Sheldons was given to the pub when it joined the Thorley pubs empire in the 1990s. Thorley’s sold the pub in the 2010s.

The Fox and The Hound is open noon until late every day.
