MORE than 40 new jobs – full and part-time – will be created when a brand new pub opens in Northallerton later this year.

The Willow Beck, which is being built by Marston’s Inns and Taverns on Finkills Way, will cater for 180 diners.

Work is said to be progressing well and the pub is expected to be opened soon after completion in November.

“We’re extremely excited about the Willow Beck and hope when opened it will build a great reputation locally,” said the company’s area operations manager Helen Weddle.

The next phase of recruitment is set to begin at the end of September. The pub is currently recruiting for a variety of different positions,.

The pub is part of a new build scheme by Marston’s.
