A popular Wirral Wetherspoons could be set to close after the pub chain announced plans to sell 32 of its properties nationwide.
The John Masefield, on New Chester Road in New Ferry, could be set to close after the pub chain has begun to look into the sale of 32 of its pubs throughout the country. A spokesperson for the chain called it a "commercial decision" to sell the pubs, and said the chain "understands[s] that customers and staff will be disappointed."
It is still uncertain if the John Masefield will close after its sale, though the news will come as a shock to some of its customers who have helped the pub achieve a four-star rating on Google. One customer called it a "Classic Wetherspoons pub as you'd expect" with a "lovely atmosphere."
