Iconic Hanbury Pub "The Cock Inn" Shuts its Doors, Leaving Locals Shocked and Sad

The end of an era: Hanbury's beloved Cock Inn closes its doors. Find out why locals are mourning this historic pub's shutdown.

We are sad to report that The Cock Inn at Hanbury has closed today. In a post on their Facebook page, the pub management said...

"We deeply regret to inform you all that The Cock Inn Hanbury has closed it's doors with immediate effect.

We have tried to reach out to every customer regarding future bookings and any deposits that have needed refunding but if you are still awaiting anything related to this please email cockinnhanbury@outlook.com and we will respond as soon as we can.

Lastly we want to thank every single customer for their immense support and loyalty. You really have made this place special and a joy to have worked here for the past 6 years.

Hopefully one day the doors will re-open again soon under new management and you'll all be able to have that 4pm pint of Bass and a bag of scratchings again!

Thank you once again to everyone that has supported us, it won't be forgotten!

The Team"
