Looks like the Alma up Bash has fallen on hard times too.

The Hapton Inn is my local. I noticed the lights were on as I was passing last night at 8:30 so I parked up and had a peek through the window. Two guys were busy cleaning and tidying up. No refurbishment work appears to have been carried out. It's been closed for about seven weeks, no one I have spoken to has an idea what's happening but because of recent activity its hopeful that they are about to re-open soon. Fingers crossed.

Re: Hapton Inn
 

Please tell me that the Alma has not gone under

Re: Hapton Inn

Re: Hapton Inn
 

I'll check when I am passing tomorrow Bob

Re: Hapton Inn
 

Went past Alma yesterday afternoon twas closed, but many pubs seem to be these days afternoons.:(

Re: Hapton Inn
 

That's better than shutting altogether.

Re: Hapton Inn
 

It no doubt will be if its been closed for the last eight weeks.

Why do you say that Max? Michelle the last manager did an excellent job, she turned the place around. It was busier than I've seen it in years when it closed. I believe it was impossible to make it work because of the high rent charges.

Just driven past Bob, there are indeed signs that it is open.
