News: Why is The Stag pub in Rotherham closed?
The popular pub in Rotherham has been closed for most of September.
Originally called the Stags Head Inn and dating back to about 1736, the pub is in the area of the town known as Stag.
The pub held a closing party on September 5 and work has been going on since at the Wickersley Road venue.
Recently operating under the Stonegate Group, the closure is part of a move to the Craft Union chain.
Stonegate Group has been selling off pubs with Rothbiz reporting in June that the freehold of the Green Dragon was available for £400,000.
The group is the UK’s largest pub operator and its parent company, TDR Capital, had £2.6 billion of debts, even before it made a £250m shareholder contribution into the pub co last year. GMB Union had been warning that the financial sitaution at TDR could lead to Stonegate’s collapse that would put 4,400 pubs and thousands of jobs at risk.
