The announcement was made on Facebook. Landlady Kate Haley-Roebuck said: ‘We will be open NYE daytime between 12pm and 5pm. After this date we will be closed as myself and Paul are taking a pub at another location to be closer to our families.

‘We will be around until the 10th of January so we can move, after that I don’t know what will happen with the pub and who will be taking it on in the future.

‘Whoever it is, I wish them the very best of luck.’

The Maypole have been contacted for further comment.
