A Leeds landlord “doesn’t know where to go” with his partner and three children in a week’s time, after he was told leave by the pub group.
David Holmes, who runs The Sportsman Inn in Morley with his partner Melanie Robinson, has been “distraught” that pub group Admiral Taverns gave him notice to leave only 4 weeks ago – meaning they have to be out by Thursday, March 9.
David and Mel, 31 and 33, took over the pub 12 months ago in March, 2022, and have lived at the pub in Hunger Hill with their three children, a three-year-old and a pair of 12-year-olds. The couple were hoping to invest long-term and said they went to the pub with an offer which was initially accepted.
