New management are set to take over The Lambley pub after the current owners announced they have now decided to leave the business.
In a post on social media they announced the decision was taken yesterday so that the owners can focus on their other businesses.
“This was not a decision taken lightly,” said owners David Hage and Mark Osborne in the statement.
“The Lambley has been part of our journey for many years, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has walked through its doors — our loyal customers, trusted suppliers, and the amazing team who brought the pub to life every day.”
“This closure is a business decision that allows us to focus our time, energy, and investment into our three award-winning gastro pubs: The Railway, The Radcliffe, and The Plough.
“These businesses remain strong, thriving, and full of exciting potential.”
They said that the staff at the pub will keep their jobs, with a new tenant set to take over the pub in due course ‘ensuring continuity for both staff and the village’.
“If you have purchased a Lambley gift voucher, these will be gladly honoured at The Railway, The Radcliffe, or The Plough, and we would love to welcome you there,” they said.
Teh concluded: “Thank you for the memories, the support, and the kindness you’ve shown us over the years. The Lambley chapter may be closing, but our passion for great pubs, great food, great service, great communities and the hospitality industry remains stronger than ever.
Customers took to social media to share their sadness at the news.

Henry Appleby-Woolston wrote: “That’s such a shame; you had turned it into such a fantastic venue. Let’s hope the new people can make it work just as well as you have, if not better.”
John Densum posted: “Glad you were able to pass it on and keep it open and the Jobs. Here is to the new tenants’ success.”
