💚 UPDATE – ONE LAST SUNDAY! 🍻

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we weren’t able to open today for our final regular trading session.

We know some of you were planning to come down and say goodbye, and we really appreciate all the lovely messages and support.

So, we’re hoping to give The General a proper send-off next Sunday 8th November!

We’ll confirm the details shortly, but we’d love to see you all for one final get-together.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 💚

💚 THE GENERAL – FINAL WEEKEND! 🍻

After much consideration, we’ve made the decision to bring our regular opening hours to an end.

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s supported The General, joined us for a pint, attended our events and been part of the journey.

But it’s not quite goodbye! 🍻

The General will still be available for private hire, parties and special events, so there’ll still be opportunities to enjoy the space.

Come and join us for one final weekend of regular trading: Friday 30th, Saturday 31st & Sunday 1st November!

🔊 Don’t forget, it’s Drum & Bass Night on Saturday from 5pm! If that’s not quite your thing, we’d love to see you on Friday or Sunday for a final pint or two! 🍺

📩 Planning a party or event? DM us or email [email protected] to enquire about private hire.

👀 Keep following us for upcoming events, with more nights already in the works!

Thank you for everything. 💚
