The pub and restaurant closed its doors for the last time on 20 December 2012 because, according to its Facebook page, 'due to the economic climate maintaining the business is no longer viable'. Its relatively remote location about a kilometre south of the nearest village probably didn't help. Old maps show that the pub was once known as the Victoria Hotel as far back as the 19th century. The property could well end up as a house if it isn't firebombed first.
