A pub with a chequered past has been put up for sale. The Queens Head in Kimberley had its licence revoked due to repeated breaches of the Covid rules at the height of the pandemic and public disorder.
Applications for a new licence allowing it to reopen were rejected. The pub, in Main Street, was closed down in September 2020. Despite warnings the owners failed to enforce NHS track and trace paperwork and ensure customers were social distancing.
A temporary banning order was served after failing to follow the strict Covid rules and, in November 2020, the licence to operate was revoked. Nottinghamshire Police told a licensing panel how it had dealt with previous crime and disorder incidents at the pub.
