One of them, Jennifer Wilson, has set up a fundraising campaign to help the pub survive.
She says:"I don't know many people who would do more than Colin and Trudy to help anyone they can, with the food bank, fundraisers, etc, and so maybe this is our chance to say thank you to them and offer a little something to get them through this nightmare time."Over the road from the pub lives another regular, Scott Joynes."They've set up a football team, a rugby team, a cribbage club, and a golf society.
Andy Spencer, managing director of Punch Pubs & Co, says:"These are clearly difficult circumstances for everyone connected with the pub industry, and at Punch we are fully committed to working in partnership with Colin to get through this very challenging time together.
"This remains a fluid situation with uncertain timelines, however Punch is here to support and work together with all of our Publicans to ensure a long term, sustainable future for them and their businesses." With the duration of the restrictions still unclear, these are worrying times for thousands of pubs across the country, many of which were struggling even before COVID-19 arrived.Those that are not, fear that they may have already called"last orders" for the last time.
