Such sad news
The owner of a popular village restaurant and bar will be closing its doors after two years next month. Paul Taylor, who runs the Kingfisher Lodge in Sibthorpe, near Newark, has announced "with a heavy heart and great sadness" that his business will shut for good on February 6.
Explaining the reason for the closure, he added: "The annoying part is that there are all these restaurants shutting down because they can't afford the electric bill, they can't afford this, can't afford that. Yet we were absolutely fine and had no problems in paying things and were making a good income out of it, but we were shut down through someone deciding that they don't want to renew the lease.
Mr Taylor opened the business in January 2021 in the midst of Covid. He said: "We started doing takeaways, then when we could sit outside we did that, and then we fully reopened when we were allowed to." As Paul is turning 60 this year, he has no plans to start a new restaurant. He described the whole experience as being "brilliant" and that he had never done anything like the restaurant in his life before. Mr Taylor said: "My dream was just to have a big front room that people could come in with their dogs and muddy boots and nobody really cared, and that's exactly how it felt.
