This Pub is Closed Long Term

New Licence granted 17/12/12, originally due to reopen in 2015 to Henighans format with sport, live music and food upstairs, conversion work delayed. See website for details, this mentions 6 cask beers will be available. To include orangery and beer garden to front of pub for a good view of the daily traffic jams plus seven flats in the rear of the building. June 2017 update - work to start in August/September 2017 - oh no it hasn't! Latest February 2018 update - now a vague 2019, maybe or maybe not - well its 27/12/19 and guess what we're still waiting.... Covid has got in the way of progress and by May 2022 not a lot to add. Xmas 2022 and a vacant empty ground floor space is for lease at £25K per annum - but will suit a variety of retail uses, it's under offer in April 2025!
