However, it’s not all doom and gloom, the chain is set to open several new pubs in certain locations across the UK.
A new £3.5 million pub is set to open its doors on September 24, 2024, in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

The chain says it is continuously evaluating the status of the pubs it has put up for sale and therefore as part of this ongoing process, some branches may be removed from the market altogether.

The pubs currently on the market are:
