The heart-patterned balloons are tied to the staircase banister inside The Widow Frost in readiness for Valentine's Day. But whether the pub will be decorated in tinsel and sparkly baubles in ten months' time is anyone's guess.
The Wetherspoon pub in Mansfield is up for sale - the only one in Nottinghamshire facing the axe by Tim Martin's UK cheap and cheerful chain. It's not very often 'Spoons ditches any of its drinking holes but after the pandemic 32 pubs across the UK were put on the market in September 2022, followed by a further seven in November.
Ten boozers have since been sold but The Widow Frost, which has a guide price of £300,000, wasn't one of them and the for sale board remains outside. There have been talks with potential buyers, though, so before, or if, it does close its doors, we decided to have one last hurrah at the pub in Leeming Street.
