WETHERSPOONS has "sadly announced" the closure of one of its boozers – and it's earlier than originally planned.<\/p>\n
The Widow Frost in Mansfield had told customers it would be pulling its final pints on September 22.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But a spokesperson for the chain has since confirmed it will now be closing its doors on September 17 – five days earlier than planned.<\/p>\n
A note on the boozer's bar reads: "We sadly announce that The Widow Frost is now closing on September 17, 2023.<\/p>\n
"We are all hoping but not promising to see you all round at The Stag and Pheasant."<\/p>\n
The Stag and Pheasant is another Spoons pub in Clumber Street, Mansfield.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Local residents have been taking to Facebook to share their dismay at the closure of the pub.<\/p>\n
One said: "This is so sad," while another said: "It's not a bad pub really, never had a bad experience in the past."<\/p>\n
A third added: "We've had some blinding times in there, always loved that pub."<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Wetherspoons previously told local news website The Chad there won't be any redundancies and staff will be transferred to nearby pubs in Mansfield, Workshop, Sutton or Kirkby.<\/p>\n
