After Attempting to write a polite reply to the last couple of posts.
I simply say Farewell Stafford Forum
The post is from January withnail.
Lease for the Bank House is for sale again, appears to be remaining 8 years of a 10 year lease.
Lewis Partnership have confirmed they are selling it and will continue running it until a buyer is found. They claim it is profitable and was always their intention to move on once it was refurbished.
Seems slightly odd to walk away so soon though if it really is profitable.
Oh god, no chance then! See you in 2 years!!We are working closely with our European friends to ensure a deal

It only opens when they feel like it, for a couple hours occasionally. Their current business model seems to be renting space for pop ups but not publicising anything other than the odd Facebook. Considering the investment that was put into the place they don't really seem very bothered about the place. Shame really when it's the only pub there now & the Cock at Stowe seems to be doing well.
The Lewis Partnership said:The Lewis Partnership have taken the decision to cease trading at The Bank House, Hixon.
As from Monday 19th April 2021 we will be closing with immediate effect.
We have not taken this decision lightly but due to the abuse the Lewis family have received on social media groups over the weekend regarding the way we run our business we have decided that we are no longer willing or able to continue trading.
We wish the people of Hixon all the best for the future and hope that the pub has another licensee very soon.
