The Fauconberg Arms re-opened in November 2006 after being closed for almost two years. The new proprietors - Simon and Helen Rheinberg and their daughter and her husband, Harriet and Jonathan Chadwick, have refurbished the pub's bar, cellar, dining room and kitchens. The renovated en-suite B&B bedrooms reopened in spring 2007.[2]
The inn was highly commended in Yorkshire Pub of the Year 2013,[3] and received a good review from The Yorkshire Post (Pub of the Week) in April 2013,[4] but a November 2014 review thought little of the cuisine.[3]
Performing arts
The Fauconberg Arms has hosted a number of performances of plays and other performing arts.
Alexander Wright's Beuleh was performed in September 2012.[5]
The Little Festival of Everything, a free performance weekend, was hosted in May 2014.[6]
In July 2014 two one act plays by Alan Stockdale, Godfrey’s Last Stand and Give A Little Love were performed for Macmillan Cancer Support.[7]
