The village that lost two pubs in a day
By Danny FullbrookLast week the village of Flamstead in Hertfordshire was home to three pubs. But then, hours apart on the same day, the Three Blackbirds and the Spotted Dog announced their closures, with both blaming rising costs. Now only the Rose & Crown remains.
"Somebody's going to buy it at a time when things have changed and people have realised going out is sociable and fun and something they'd like to do again.", Simon says it's "a crying shame" the two pubs will not be there this year.Ros and Edward Thomas say they visited The Spotted Dog "regularly"Mr Thomas says: "I think the shock of those interest rates going up must be very difficult.
Gareth Farr, landlord of the The Three Blackbirds, says running a pub is unsustainable due to rising energy bills, food costs and brewery prices. He says the two pubs in close proximity made a great destination for locals to "unwind a little bit" and he believes the two complimented each other.
