Leigh on Sea: Great news for pub lovers! The Sarah Moore pub is back in business. It was set to close in January 2025, but the community rallied around it.
After hearing the sad news, locals expressed their love for the pub. Now, landlords Will and Charley have secured a new one-year lease, with a chance to extend it to ten years. They’re planning to reopen in January 2024, and there are some fun changes coming!
This pub has been a go-to spot for sports fans, showing all the big games. Everyone in the area is excited to keep cheering together. Back in October, the pub announced it would close, which left many feeling down.
On Facebook, they shared their worries about the lease ending and the building being sold for homes. They thanked their staff and customers for all the good times over the years.
But now, there’s a fresh start! Will mentioned that he thought he was out of a job just last week. After a chat with the previous landlord, they decided to keep the pub open. They’re eager to work with local suppliers, especially Leigh Brewery, to support the community.
Manager Holly is excited about new events like karaoke and quiz nights. She believes this reopening is a great opportunity to connect with locals and help other businesses too. Everyone’s looking forward to what’s next!
