A pub in Arnold has closed its doors for good.
The Friar Tuck pub traded for the very last time yesterday (13).
The management team announced the sad news via a statement on Facebook.
They wrote: “It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we close our doors for good today, Nigel, Lynn and all of our fantastic team would like to thank each and everyone of our customers over the last 10 years without you or jobs wouldn’t be worth doing.”
Customers took to social media to share their sadness over the news.
Shane Clark posted: “Thank you for everything over the years! Made loads of good memories at Table 45. I’m definitely going to miss watching the football here.”
Matt Mace wrote: “Sad times. I’ve been drinking and dining in the Tuck for well over 20 years. You will be sorely missed.”
Tina May said in a post: “I will miss you all. Thank you for the memories.”
It’s believed the pub will now be demolished.
Plans have been submitted that would see it closed and knocked down so a retirement living development can be built in its place.
The plans submitted to Gedling Borough Council follow an agreement between pub company Greene King and a developer for the Friar Tuck, Gedling Road.
They include demolition of the building in favour of 51 apartments for people over the age of 60.
The site would also include a communal residents lounge, a mobility scooter store, a communal garden along with 22 available parking spaces.
The applicant is McCarthy Stone, a developer and manager of retirement communities.
The pub was by Greene King and was originally opened in 1958 by the Home Brewery Company, a local Daybrook brewery.
