Despite being known as England's oldest pub, a boozer in St Albans is 'fighting for survival' as the cost of living crisis threatens to cripple the business.
The pub has been serving customers for more than 1,200 years, but has become one of the many affected by the cost-of-living crisis.
The Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans, Hertfordshire - which first opened in 793 - has survived the English Civil War, 17 recessions, two world wars and five pandemics, including the Black Death and Covid.
