The landlord of The Robin Hood in Stoke-on-Trent is leaving after the pub was put up for sale. Uncertainty surrounds the pubs future.
The pub is on Hartshill Road, part of the Hartshill Mile. The asking price is over £199,950. Jack and Jo will not buy it now, and they are leaving the pub soon.
Their last day should be February 22nd, a Saturday. They are sad but stay positive about their efforts, having made great memories at the pub and want a big send-off.
They lived there for five years and ran the pub for over two years. There were good times and bad times. They laughed through it all and met nice people.
They will take a break to become parents. They plan to work in pubs again later. They also encourage people to support small pubs, acknowledging that running them is becoming hard.
The pub includes a three-bedroom apartment. People could turn it into a house, or they could make it into a house with multiple occupants.
