In a statement the couple said: “We have absolutely loved every minute of our time here and have been so lucky to make so many wonderful friends along the way. We can’t thank you enough for all your support, laughter, and memories over the years.
“The good news is that our fantastic team will all be staying on, so you’ll continue to see the familiar faces you’ve come to know and love, ready to welcome you back when we reopen.
“Finally, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our incredible team and to every single one of our wonderful guests. Your loyalty, friendship, and support over the past nine years have meant the world to us. It’s been an absolute privilege to be part of this amazing community.”
The pub will be completely closed on Monday 6 July and Tuesday 7 July, it will open on Wednesday 8 July and Thursday 9 July for drinks only and be closed for the refit from Friday 10 July for a week as the refurb takes place.
Blog Preston understands The Stags Head at Goosnargh is continuing under Star Inns and the new landlord is to be Peter Jackson who has recently begun running The Old Oak in Longridge after it saw a major six-figure refit.
