Wetherspoon has revealed the closure of another pub in Nottinghamshire. The Sir John Ardene, in Church Street, Newark, will be shutting its doors.
It follows last year's announcement that the chain was selling The Widow Frost, in Leeming Street, Mansfield. It was put on the market in September 2022, one of 32 pubs being sold off across the country, after the company suffered £30m losses due to the pandemic and lockdown restrictions. Some of the pubs have since been bought.
Staff at the Sir John Ardene were given the news on Wednesday, March 22. Named after the first English surgeon who lived in Newark, it is the only Wetherspoon pub in the town and rates highly in reviews.
