The pub has about 200 pints of Black Sheep and Roosters beer to sell cheaply before tonight's final last orders before lockdown — and once it's gone, it's gone.

Christies Bar on Kings Road, Harrogate is selling pints of cask ale for £1 today to shift the last of its beer before lockdown begins tomorrow.

Landlord Marik Scatchard told the Stray Ferret it had around 200 pints of Black Sheep and Roosters beer to sell this afternoon — and once it's gone, it's gone.

Mr Scatchard said business this week had not been as busy as expected and the offer would save the beer from a probable fate down the plug-hole.

He was disappointed the pub has been forced to close due to the month-long lockdown, and is waiting for news on financial support from the government. He said:

"There really hasn't been any [financial] help this time. We still had to pay full rent last time for three months, which was a bit of a nightmare.
"We're covid-secure and have had no issues since reopening."


Mr Scatchard said he was unsure if there would be a melancholic atmosphere at Christies this evening, as drinkers sup their final pints for several weeks.

He hopes the pub will be able to welcome its regulars back on December 2.
