A JD Wetherspoon pub on the Bristol border is one of 32 venues up for sale as pressures on the hospitality industry continue to mount. Customers have been left 'gutted' to hear the news that the Jolly Sailor on the High Street in Hanham has been selected to be sold.
It will be the second Wetherspoon pub to close in Bristol in just over a year if the sale goes through after the closure of St George's Hall in Redfield last September.
The group, which operates approximately 800 pubs across the UK and Ireland, said it was a "commercial decision". In July, the pub had previously warned of finance worries citing £30 million losses after raising staff pay and funding repairs across its venues.
