The Rad, previously known as The St Radegund, confirmed its closure on Sunday (October 20). The pub had celebrated its reopening in March after redecorating and modernising.
It also recently saw the licence changed to allow children into the pub with responsible adults and to allow extended Sunday opening hours. A spokesperson for The Rad wrote in a post on social media: "Yes, sadly, the Rad is closed. But the building is in the best shape it has been in in decades, of that I have no doubt.

We'd even paid the rent for most of the time we were working on the building but were falling behind after opening. "All in all it added up to more than we and the pub business could handle, we're drained dry.
I felt we were close to being able to make it it work, but then again even if we had it would have been a lot of work just to service years worth of debt." The spokesperson said they hoped someone else would be able to take on the pub. It has also been listed as 'permanently closed' on Google.
