This decision has not been taken lightly and is with huge regret, unfortunately due to massive increases in costs and reduced footfall it is not viable to carry on trading.

We would firstly like to thank our staff who are a great team and always go above and beyond.

However, our biggest thank you must go to to our loyal customers (you know who you are!), for supporting us through challenging times over the last few years and it is been a great pleasure to serve you all.

For many people in Thornaby, it has been a place to celebrate births, weddings , anniversaries and also raise a glass to love ones who have passed.

We hope that many of you will pop by for one last pint or two before we ring the bell for the final time.
