This page documents public houses and licensed establishments that are currently closed or not operating under their previous arrangements. The status information is current as of July 15, 2025, and includes details about closure dates, circumstances, and potential reopening plans where available.
Some establishments may be in transitional states, with new operators or pending reopening under different management. The information provided reflects the most recent available data.
All four of these pubs (Fanny by Gaslight, Plough Tavern, Spin, Village Inn) have significant "Value" figures listed in our records. Three of these establishments (Fanny by Gaslight, Plough Tavern, and Village Inn) were still recorded as actively trading in our spreadsheet despite their actual closed status.
Spin was unique in that it was already listed as "No Barrlage" on our spreadsheet, indicating a different operational model even before its permanent closure.
The financial data presented here demonstrates the complex relationship between financial metrics (EBITDA, Barrelage) and the operational status of the business when performing valuations. For closed or non-trading pubs, the "Value" often reflects the property's real estate worth or future potential, not a multiple of its current trading profit.
Closed suddenly in June 2024. The establishment is set to re-open on July 18, 2025.
Technically still in a closed/transitional state for a few more days. Scheduled to reopen in 3 days on July 18, 2025.
Notes: Spreadsheet "Comments" column stated "Closed P4 YTD Close." The spreadsheet implicitly acknowledged its closed status, but still provided trading figures, likely historical.
Owners announced retirement and put the pub up for sale in February 2025.
While a new company ("PLOUGH TAVERN LTD") was incorporated in April 2025, news reports from May 2025 indicate that "steps to reopen" are "continuing" and there's "no timescale for when the pub could reopen." This suggests it remains closed for regular trading as it transitions.
Notes: Spreadsheet showed it as fully trading with substantial barrelage. External info confirms it ceased trading under previous management in Feb 2025 and is in transition, with no re-opening date confirmed yet.
Confirmed as permanently closed in January 2024 due to the owner's passing.
The establishment closed permanently following the death of the owner. Previously operated as Bottlecap Bar before becoming Spin.
Notes: Spreadsheet explicitly noted "No Barrlage," and external info confirms its permanent closure in January 2024. Its value and financial figures were already distinct, not relying on barrelage.
Lease ended early on December 1, 2025, and the building is currently empty.
News reports from November 2024 confirmed its forced closure due to building issues. The establishment remains closed and empty. Previously operated as Auchinairn before becoming Village Inn.
Additional Details: Closed due to asbestos concerns. Status of any associated residential flats is unclear.

Notes: Spreadsheet "Comments" column stated "(lease ended early 12/1/25, currently empty)," clearly indicating its non-operational status. The provided trading figures are likely historical.
The following calculations show the financial impact of the closed establishments on the overall portfolio totals. By subtracting the figures for the closed pubs from the original overall totals, we can determine the performance metrics for actively trading establishments only.
