📢 Important Announcement
After much deliberation and with heavy hearts, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the pub. Unfortunately, new and unrealistic terms set by the brewery, along with the rising costs imposed by the government and local council, have left us with no viable way to continue trading sustainably.
This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly — we’ve done everything we could to make it work. Sadly, the circumstances have left us with no other option.
We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past year — every visit, every chat, every pint shared has meant the world to us. Your custom and kindness have made this journey truly special. 🍻
To say farewell, the pub will be open today with reduced drink prices, and our usual food deals, including Fish & Chip Friday, will still be available. Once the stock is gone, it’s gone — so come down, raise a glass, and enjoy one last day with us.
We sincerely hope that things change in the future for whoever takes on the pub next, so it can become a sustainable and thriving place once again, both for the landlords and for you, the community that makes it what it is.
Thank you all once again for your support, friendship, and loyalty.
�With love and gratitude,
The Hope & Anchor team
