CUSTOMERS at the Fitzwilliam Arms in Elsecar were crying into their beer to hear that popular licensees Stephen and Sharon Challoner are leaving.
The couple have been at the 'Fitz' for six years but in that time have transformed it with a major refurbishment that saw the pub almost double in size.
Last February they created a new 60-seater restaurant and also invested in a log-burning pizza oven, function room, climbing frame and barbecue area.
The couple leave on Saturday April 18.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
