Robert D. Webster Ltd are the New Holland dealers in East Yorkshire ... we sell New Holland combines, telehandlers, tractors and balers wise and that’s when the Savile family, through S&S Associates bought their shares. S&S Associates includes John and his three brothers. Lucy said: ‘I’d already been here quite a bit by the time we took it over completely so I knew what to expect but it’s just gone so well recently. We had a fantastic shooting season, as we get shoot parties here, and we’ve had lots of weddings and parties. On Mothering Sunday we did 198 covers. We have a really good function room at the back of the pub and a lovely beer garden too. We’re also the home of Ray’s Voices, the village community choir which is earning a fantastic reputation as well.’ ‘I thoroughly enjoy being the landlady. I love the people who come here and find it all so rewarding. We get lots of comments saying we have done an amazing thing getting the pub back open, that we serve great food and great beer and we appear to be going from strength to strength.’ Lucy is not just a farmer’s wife, she’s also a farmer’s daughter having grown up at Lund where her father, who passed away eight years ago, farmed 500 acres with combinable crops and cattle bought in from Tow Law auction mart. Today her brother Will (Hall) runs the farm and buys stock from Darlington. Her elder brother Robert is a consultant. ‘I studied at Harper Adams and worked for Dovecote Park buying cattle off farms for three years. I was a member of Bainton YFC. John and I got together in Driffield, but I’d known him for years before.’ NFU DRIFFIELD IS PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH S J SAVILE & SONS Taking the time to offer you attentive, personal, local service for your insurance, pensions and investments.
