No news of the closure was posted on the pub’s Facebook page, however a Greene King spokesperson told the Citizen: “Following a period of team member consultation, we can confirm that the Lakeside has now closed.

“We are grateful to everyone who has supported the Lakeside over the years, and we look forward to welcoming them into our other pubs in the local area soon."

Greene King said it had worked with team members to find alternative roles at its other pubs where possible.

Earlier today, Greene King announced The Hungry Horse, one of its other pubs in the city, was temporarily closing on Monday May 18 to allow a six-figure renovation of the site to take place.

It is scheduled to reopen to the public following its revamp in June.
