Announcing the decision to close, he said on Facebook: “It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I write the following post.

“The brewery have sold the pub thus meaning that our last night will be the 17th August 2018.

“I would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for the best of times we have had.”
