🚨 Local Pub in Peril! 🚨 The iconic North Star pub in Cardiff is sounding the alarm as it faces possible closure. Struggling to keep its doors open, the beloved hangout has decided to make some tough choices to weather the storm. Running a pub has been no walk in the park lately, with over 400 in Wales and England shuttering in the last year alone. 😞
The folks at North Star took to social media to share their plea: “The truth is we’re struggling, and need your support! We’ve nearly closed twice this summer. Here’s the plan—to ensure we’re not turned into flats and continue serving our community, we’re making some changes.”
Among the adjustments, expect a 5% price increase across the board. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but crucial to keep the pints flowing and the fun going. They’re committed to offering great value, even with these shifts, after doing a deep dive into local pricing. Plus, they’ve frozen some prices till December and even extended Sunday lunch hours from 4pm to 6pm—two-course lunch vouchers are on offer at a discounted rate of £40 for now!
In a landscape where 209 pubs across the UK were demolished or transformed in just the first half of this year, every effort counts. The North Star team stresses that there’s no venue around that matches their level of entertainment and quality. So, local pub-goers, your Friday nights out and Sunday roasts need YOU! Let’s rally and keep our cherished North Star shining. ✨🍻🎶
Your community pub needs a hand to guide it through these rocky times. Will you be there to support them? 💪 #SaveOurPubs #CardiffCommunity #SupportLocal
