"We would like to thank our much-loved customers who have supported us. It is time to move on for us as a family and would like to wish you all a successful and happy 2019."

The family-friendly restaurant opened on the site of the infamous Bantam Cock in November 2017 after the former late pub shut its doors a month before.

In the year before it closed, The Bantam Cock was found to have the highest density of violent crime on premises for any bar in Northampton.
