A historic pub will close after energy bills rose to £8000 a month. The last trading day for The Goth in Prestonpans, East Lothian, will be on January 1.
Business owners Michelle McLellan and Calum Wilson announced they would be shutting the boozer due to rising bills, having taken over in 2018. They received an email predicting £8000 bills which was the final straw.
Michelle said: “It’s mostly due to the rising cost of electricity. To be honest it’s all the bills in general. We have spoken to our staff and we are all committed to honouring all bookings until the end of the year.
