Ladies & Gentlemen
I've Struggled The Past Week To Type & Pass On This Message To You All, However It's Only Fair I Can Officially Now Put All The Rumours To Rest.
I, My Family & My Team Of Amazing Ladies Will Unfortunately Be Leaving The The Diggers Inn (The Safe Harbour) End Of July 2024 - Date Yet To Be Confirmed (22nd-29th)
It Has Been An Amazing Couple Of Years Since Getting The Keys From Rob Neville & Family After There 17 Years Of Love, Giving Myself A Lovely Project To Refurbish The Pub I Know Is Much Loved By MANY, However Unfortunately Back In January 2024 A New Area Manager Representing The Landlords - Star Pubs & Bars Took Control And Due To Circumstances Myself and Said Person Could Not Make This Work Leading To February 2024 Meeting Where I Was Informed Of His Intention To End My Lease On The Property - This Is In Part No Bad Reflection To Star Pubs & Bars As I've Had A Good Relationship With Them Since 2020 Regarding The Diggers!
Now After 5/6Months Of Silence Leading To A Court Letter (Delivered On My Birthday 27th June😂) Intending To End My Lease Officially & Take Control Of The Site Again - Im Happy To Confirm On This Documentation & From Good Sources The Site Will Not Close For Good & Will Not Be Going Up For Sale, It Will Be Open To Options Of Tenancy Agreements Or Even Potential Management Scheme,
Anyone Interested In Details On Taking On The Pub As Your Own I'm Happy To Pass On Contact Details Of The Relevant Team At The Brewery.
