Technically they're both brand and operator, so I'd add that to your 
PR.  I mentioned the story of 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/643438276 (the last managed pub) back 
in January in 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2022-January/028400.html 
, and I'm not aware of any changes since then.  Had there been any I 
suspect I'd have heard on the local "pub grapevine".

Best Regards,

Andy (just down the road from a closed Sam's pub like many others 
"awaiting live-in couple" to run it).
