They said: “ We are incredibly sad to announce that on Saturday the Roebuck in Bilsborrow closed its doors for the last time. We never imagined having to say goodbye to Bilsborrow and for this chapter to end.
“The Roebuck has become a place to make memories, friends and build a community that will be massively missed. We would like to thank each and every customer over the years for their support and sharing special moments with us. Every guests loyalty and kindness means the world to us.
“We have had the absolute privilege to work alongside each other and be a smashing team and I wish each of them an amazing future. This is an incredibly difficult goodbye, However we are taking this as an opportunity to go onto bigger and better things for each of us.”
