GUESTS trapped in Britain’s highest pub since Saturday evening have finally been rescued.

They were led in a convoy to safety along a twisting moorland road by two farmers in snowploughs on Tuesday.

However, four guests, including two German tourists, decided not to risk the journey and stayed behind with the pub’s six staff.

Pub owner Andrew Hields said: “We got a call at 2.30pm to say they had made it.

“The route is still treacherous. Our staff will be going home as soon as it is safe.”

The rescue came as 23 guests faced another day of being snowed in at the Tan Hill Inn, which is 1,732ft above sea level in Richmond, North Yorkshire.

Pub bosses had even started booking a rescue helicopter.

Manager Nicole Hayes said: “We have plenty of supplies, though we’re out of sausages and Australian guests drank all the Malbec.”

Temperatures are set to plummet as low as minus 16C tonight and an amber warning has been issued for snow.

The Met Office’s Oli Claydon said it would be “bitterly cold” in northern England.
