LOCALS have shared their devastation after a beloved family pub revealed it will shut its doors for good.

In a statement on Facebook, the owners said they had “fallen on hard times” and they could not be “worked through”.
The post continued: “It is with great sadness that we have to inform you our customers and the friends we have made over the 5 years.”
Locals were quick to chime in and share their heartbreak over the news.
One wrote: “Omg no way it’s such a lovely place.. It will now go to rack and ruin.”
While another added: “Will miss my Sunday lunch takeaway.”
A third said they were “absolutely gutted” and another said they were “devastated”.
Others said they would miss their Sunday roasts, which were branded the “best” by customers.
It’s not the first pub to close down in recent weeks.
The Castle Inn closed on January 6, leaving just eight pubs left in the town of 11,000 people.
The pub in Monmouth said they were forced to close the boozer after landlords decided to hike rents by 75%.
Owner Paul told the Monmouthshire Beacon that the landlord wanted to take the rent from £24,000 a year to £42,000.
He also revealed issues with one of the neighbours who “could smell food cooking and reported it to the environmental health officer”.
Elsewhere, the The Broch Bar in Kilsyth, Glasgow said it will close its doors for good today, Thursday February 27.
A statement posted on Facebook by owners of the pub read: “It’s with a heavy heart that we will be closing our doors next Thursday, 27/02/25.
“We really pushed to try and keep it open for the weekend for one last time but it is out of our hands, we are so sorry.”

After just three years in business, it closed for good on December 6, 2024

MANY Food and drink chains have been struggling in recently as the cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out.
Businesses have been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring energy bills and inflation.
Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like Wetherspoons and Frankie & Benny’s closing branches.
Some chains have not survived, Byron Burger fell into administration last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs.
Pizza giant, Papa John’s is shutting down 43 of its stores soon.
Tasty, the owner of Wildwood, said it will shut sites as part of major restructuring plans.
EX-WESTMEATH goalkeeper Gary Connaughton reckons he would struggle badly to make the grade at inter-county level nowadays – even if he was at the peak of his powers.
An All-Star in 2008, Connaughton was one of the leading players in his position during a career that also saw him help his county win their first ever Leinster SFC title.
But the goalkeeper’s duties have expanded considerably since.
And after a raft of rule changes were introduced by the Football Review Committee, the role has never been under more scrutiny.
Connaughton said: “The traditional goalie is nearly gone at this stage.
“I wouldn’t get on a county panel if I was playing football now.
“I’d be surplus to requirements because it seems to be all about what you can do out the field.
“It’s not something I’m in favour of. But that’s the new football and it seems that we just have to adapt to it.”
Following the overhaul of the laws of the game, a team can avail of a numerical advantage in the opposing half by bringing its goalkeeper forward.
Tyrone’s Niall Morgan and Monaghan’s Rory Beggan — who both epitomise the evolution of modern keeper — thrive as their long-range kicking ability is used to rack up two-point scores.
There has been much opposition to the so-called 12-v-11 rule, with Derry boss Paddy Tally claiming that it is ‘killing the game’.
But Tubberclair’s Connaughton said: “When Anthony Nash was in goal for the Cork hurlers, he had an unbelievable drive of a penalty and they changed the rules as a result.
“When a goalie masters something, there’s always going to be criticism and calls for rule changes. Morgan, Beggan and these guys have mastered it very well.
“But I don’t think it would be right to change the rules just because some counties are good at it and others aren’t. It’s up to other counties to improve and get up to that level.
“We can’t be changing the rules every five minutes. Goalies should be allowed to play out the field if they so wish.
“It’s not something that I would have liked myself because I just wouldn’t have been able to do it.
“But as a neutral, I think it makes for great entertainment, especially if they’re caught and they can’t get back.”
A number of counties, including Westmeath, have sought to adapt to the new rules by deploying an outfield player in goal.
Conor McCormack has been starting in the No 1 shirt for the Lakesmen, while Derry have taken the same approach with Neil McNicholl.
Connaughton said: “We’ve already seen goals going in because a lot of these lads just aren’t as capable with the shot-stopping at the moment.
“Great saves can add a lot to a game as well.”
Morgan said recently that some keepers would walk away if they were stopped from going up the pitch.
But former stopper Connaughton said: “We have a couple of young goalies in my own club and they still love saving shots, trying to master kick-outs, dealing with high balls in and around the square and all that stuff.
“You don’t want to take those skills out of the game.
“I don’t think they should be banning goalies from coming out the field but the traditional goalie shouldn’t be allowed to die out either.”
