The enigmatic Fred may have gone, the name on the door may have changed, but underneath the express makeover the place very much remains The Little Inn, bar the name.\n\nSadly, despite the new lady owner being perfectly pleasant, she's not yet a patch on the local legend that was Fred. He's now off to sunnier climes, and his perfect mix of charisma, erratic behaviour, and typical French befuddlement at the peculiarities of life in the UK, will be sorely missed.\n\nFingers crossed the new tenant can one day take up a place in EH8 folklore.
