Landlords at Northamptonshire village pub make ‘difficult decision’ to close down

The Bakers Arms in Bugbrooke has now closed with ‘immediate effect’, according to its social media page.

This week, a pub spokesman said: "Like many hospitality businesses, we have been dealing with rising costs, changing trading conditions, and increasing pressure across the board. After reviewing the position, we have had to make the difficult decision to close.

"We want to thank everyone who has supported The Bakers Arms, whether that has been popping in for a drink, joining us for food, attending events, or simply being part of the pub over the years.”

Chronicle & Echo has approached the pub for further comment.

The pub reopened in June 2023 after it had closed two months earlier amid spiralling costs.

Bugbrooke has recently seen its two other pubs – The Wharf and The Five Bells – reopen under new operators.
