Today marks the end of an era as we bid farewell to the Bystander.
We will be closing our doors for good at 11pm and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of the pub over the years, during which time the Bystander has gone through many changes, but the one constant has been all of you.
The unwaivering support from George (pictured), Mr and Mrs Duffy, Rachael, Phil, John, Jayden, Jamie, Simon, Beau, Cheryl, Anne, Sue, Bob, Brian and many, many more

We’ll be saying goodbye as we close the doors to The Bystander on 26 April.
The fabulous team want to thank all of our lovely customers for all of the support and good times ✨
