A Leeds landlord booted from his pub says he will be moving across the street and vows to “put a spanner in the works” of the new owner’s plans.
David Holmes, 31, his partner Melanie Robinson, 33, and their three children, were told to leave The Sportsman Inn in Morley by Admiral Taverns. The pub group is in the process of selling the property and the land and David is worried the new buyers will bulldoze the pub and use the land to develop homes and flats.
He’s vowed to put a stop to that and is moving with his family across the road on Hunger Hill to a property opposite the pub, which he owned prior to becoming the landlord in March, 2022, so he can keep an eye on what is going on at the vacant pub.
