📢 An Update from The Great Lyde

As many of you know, we’ve been closed for the past few weeks due to an electrical issue.

Behind the scenes we’ve been working hard every day to get everything sorted and get our doors back open, but unfortunately things are taking a little longer than we first hoped.

We know it’s frustrating not being able to pop in for Yeovil’s favourite carvery or your local boozer, and we genuinely appreciate all the messages asking when we’ll be back. Your support means the world to us.

Rest assured, we’re doing everything we can to get The Great Lyde back up and running safely, and we’ll be back as soon as possible.

Thank you all for your patience and continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you all back for a pint, a carvery, and the atmosphere you’ve all been missing. ❤️🍻

We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more news.
