Trevor Arms to close its doors for final time this weekend

A pub in the heart of a local community is set to close its doors for the final time this weekend.

The Trevor Arms, an early 18th Century Coaching Inn in Marford, will cease trading on Sunday 14 July.

In a statement posted on social media, the management stated that the venue had been struggling with the current economic situation – including a decrease in footfall and a decline in sales.

The hospitality industry has been particularly hit by the cost of living crisis, with issues such as the rising price of goods and energy bills coinciding with a drop in people being able to afford dining out.

The statement said: “It is with great sadness that we have to announce that this Sunday July 14, we will unfortunately be closing our doors for a final time.

“This decision has not been made lightly and has been very difficult to come to terms with.

“However, with the current economic situation, decrease in footfall and decline in sales, it is just not feasible for us to carry on trading.

“Over the years, we have gotten to know many great people and we hope in the near future we get to meet again.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you kindly to everyone who visited us over the years, your support has been one of the greatest and we will forever be grateful for you all.

“With that said, please join us for a final time this Sunday for a Sunday Carvery or even just a quick pint.

“We hope to see as many of you as we possibly can before we close our doors for one final time.”
