A stalwart of the Morecambe pub scene is moving on to pastures new after almost 30 years running a promenade drinking establishment.

Nigel Pearson stepped down as manager of The Kings Arms last week, and will take over at The Dog And Partridge in Bare, vowing to bring the pub back up to a high standard and give it some TLC.

Nigel, 52, became manager at The Kings Arms at the age of 21. The father of two said: “My dad Bill Pearson was the manager at the pub before me, and he’d had it about five years. 
I was put on a trial, and when I finally got the job I was the youngest manager for Tetley Walker pubs in the country. I remember we used to to open at 12pm until 3pm, then 7pm until 11pm. Now we open at 10am until sometimes 3am and 4am. A lot of pubs put more emphasis on food when the smoking ban came in.

“The all day drinking culture has changed a lot too.
