The establishment that claims to be Britain’s “oldest pub” is closing its doors, the landlord announced Friday, citing hardships made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Christo Tofalli, the landlord of Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, a 1,200-year-old pub, said in a Facebook post announcing the closure that financial struggles prior to the health crisis have now become untenable due to the loss of business.
