A pub company is advertising the tenancy of a village pub again
A popular Sheffield pub is closing “with great sadness” at the end of the bank holiday.
The Anvil in Stannington will be “closed for the forseeable future” according to a post on its Facebook page.
Signed by Lesley and Tara, it states the pub is now in the hands of the brewery.
It adds: “We would like to say thanks and send our love to all our wonderful customers, most of which have become, and will remain, friends and family.”
Pub company Stonegate is advertising the tenancy with a guide rent of £317 per week.
It comes after The Anvil, on Stannington Road, had a change of management in 2024.
Stonegate is Britain’s biggest pub company and runs chains including the Slug and Lettuce and Walkabout.
Responding online, Gina Shaw, said: “Sad to see you go guys! We've had some wonderful evenings when the pub has been in your hands. Best wishes for the future.”
And Adam Lott said: “So sad! No business is thriving but it’s ludicrous the amount of money spent to keep the doors open. Best of luck with what ever you end up doing.”
Dawn Lait said: “You’ve tried I’m so sorry all the good pubs are going.”
