It’s with deep sadness and it has been an agonizing decision, that we haven’t taken lightly or quickly. We regret to announce that from early January we will be calling last orders for the last time.

Many factors have aided us in this decision not least of all never ending government pressure on our industry to become tax collectors and utilities companies that penalize you for trying. Our electricity bill is set to go from £700 a month to nearly £2000 as there is no government cap on commercial utilities. (Until now we’ve been on a locked contract) Team that with an industry which hasn’t recovered well from Covid! Increasing cost of a pint to something we no longer feel we can pass on, with good conscience!

It’s time to draw a line and retire gracefully (ish)

We thank you ALL WHOLE HEARTEDLY for all your love and fantastic support.

To our team, now and past, for your loyalty and devotion.

To all the small brewers out there whose beers have been our pride to front, thank you.

To the market traders who have been with us this past year, thank you.

To skittles, darts & pool teams past and present, thank you.

Thank you all.

We hope you will all join us for a fond and final fair well this New Year’s Eve.

Adios, au revoir, arrivederci, auf weidershen, tot ziens, dowidzenia. Goodbye Regards Di & Dave Belcher
