Hopes for Ripon pub to reopen after sudden closure
One of Ripon's largest and most prominently located pubs is seeking a new long-term tenant after being shut since early May.
South Lodge's sudden closure prompted speculation on social media about its future.
A spokesperson for the Heineken-owned pub business Star Pubs & Bars, which is marketing the premises on Harrogate Road at an annual rent of £29,775, told the Stray Ferret:
The spokesperson added:
The pub, which stands in its own grounds and has a beer garden, is located by the busy A61 on the route of the 36 bus service between Ripon and Harrogate.
In its search for somebody to take on the lease, Star Pubs & Bars said it was looking for a person with extensive experience in the hospitality business.
