A village pub appears to have closed its doors to the surprise of locals. The licensees at The Lambley haven't made any formal announcement but locals have reported it shut.
A row of traffic cones has blocked off the car park. One of the regulars said she was "surprised and disappointed" to learn of the closure of the traditional family pub which served freshly cooked food, including Sunday dinners. It also boast an attractive outdoor seating area - the new terrace, both undercover and alfresco - was built during the lockdown in 2020.
The pub, in Main Street, Lambley, was popular with walkers in the area. One said: "Sad. We were there on Boxing Day and it was doing good business, especially with walkers. Always served a good meal."
