The owners had wanted to reopen it but have had a change of heart
A pub with a chequered past has been put up for sale. The Queens Head in Kimberley had its licence revoked due to repeated breaches of the Covid rules at the height of the pandemic and public disorder.
A temporary banning order was served after failing to follow the strict Covid rules and, in November 2020, the licence to operate was revoked. Nottinghamshire Police told a licensing panel how it had dealt with previous crime and disorder incidents at the pub.Two police officers were assaulted while they dealt with an offender and in a separate incident a man suffered a fractured cheek and eye socket in an assault in the beer garden.
Ms Huang added plastic glasses would be used from 9pm to closing time on Friday and Saturday nights and a CCTV system was installed. However after failing to obtain a licence, the owners have had a change of heart about running a pub and have put it up for sale by auction with a guide price of £650,000. It includes the freehold and the property's six bedrooms and a courtyard.
