What happened after The Hotel Inspector?

The York, formerly the York Hotel, is a Victorian pub with rooms on Lancaster Road in Morecambe, Lancashire. TVmaze's listing for the Channel 5 episode (series 18, episode 4, aired 2023-10-31) describes ex-army couple Gareth and Gemma, who took on the pub-hotel about 18 months earlier and were struggling to fill the rooms, with room occupancy close to zero. Beyond Radio reported on 2023-07-12 that Gemma and Gareth Gardner had taken over in 2022, that Polizzi advised them, that cameras filmed at the pub, and that it was dropping “Hotel” from its name to become The York. The same article reported a kitchen fire the previous September that made the family, staff and guests leave overnight, after which the pub reopened, and a family fun day planned for 1 August 2023 to mark the relaunch.

Beyond Radio reported on 2024-07-08 that Polizzi had suggested changes to the name, rooms, pricing and food menu, that the couple barred more than 100 customers to restore a community and family feel, and that the Gardners would leave on 4 August 2024 after two years to spend time with family, with staff staying on to work with a new landlord or landlady. The article did not say who would take over. A Google Maps listing for The York at 87 Lancaster Road, Morecambe LA4 5QH uses the new name.
