From Fiona & Daz,
Hi everyone. There’s no easy way to say this, so we’ll just say it. We’ve taken the very hard decision to shut the pub with immediate effect.
The pub trade is never easy and as much as we’ve tried, we simply can’t continue with The Polka Hop due to high energy bills, PRS/PPL and other issues.
We will work with all the events & bands that we have in the pub to find them new venues and we will continue to do everything we can to support the local arts and pub community. We’ll be in touch with everyone effected asap.
We’d like to say a huge thanks for the support we’ve had from suppliers, musicians and local businesses, who have kept us going this far. Special thanks must go out to Bazza and his Thursday night jammers, you’ve been absolutely amazing and we will find you a new home!
Ultimate thanks goes to our staff past and present who have been awesome from day one.
We don’t know what the next steps are just yet, but we’ll keep the page alive so we can keep you informed.
Much love to everyone and apologies for any inconvenience caused.
PLEASE get out to the pubs and use them! They need you more than ever!
Daz, Fiona & Oliver.
