After six and a half years trading, providing an amazing array of beers to drink and fridge full of some pretty colourful cans, the sad news is that the Hoppy Place will be closing on Saturday 21st March. Like many pubs they have suffered from a downturn in trade, along with several neighbouring businesses which have closed. The increases in business rates, utilities and employers national insurance contributions added to the pressure. I'm sure they would appreciate visit before they go.
