Stephen, has been a farmer since he left university over 30 years ago. Spitewinter had been his grandfather's farm but his father preferred to work in the local steelworks. Stephen's farming genes were passed down by his mother, a farmer's daughter, but in recent years he had, like many others, been feeling the pinch and diversified into pheasants. Stephen's farm has some 10,000 pheasants at the peak of the season. Most are destined for local shoots, but some go straight to Deborah's kitchen Deborah, is the brains in the the kitchen. Her menu, which changes every two or three weeks to maintain interest among the pub's dining regulars, takes care of conservative tastes with scampi and home made pies. Deborah and Stephen met some 10 years ago at a grouse shoot where they were beaters. They took up the challenge of purchasing the Ladybower Inn which they opened in August 2001 and haven't looked back since. She and Stephen have a deal. He stays out of her kitchen and looks after the bar. "Stephen doesn't want to know" and I don't want him in there joked Deborah.
