Two sisters running a village pub on the edge of the Peak District have confirmed they are stepping down, citing unsustainable running costs and ongoing financial strain.
Hannah and Laura, who run The Castle Inn on Stone Moor Road in Bolsterstone, near Deepcar, shared the news of their departure with customers on social media. They explained that they are leaving with the heaviest of hearts after reaching a point where they can no longer keep the business going.
The Castle Inn, which gained asset of community value status back in 2017, is owned by pub company Trust Inns. The pub company is already actively advertising the lease to find new operators to take over the premises.
Reflecting on their time at the helm, the pair stated that they took on the village pub as two sisters with a dream, plenty of determination, and a real love for the venue. They poured everything into the business, from early mornings and late nights to serving meals and pints, aiming to build something worthwhile for the local area.
Over their tenure, the pub became a second home where they hosted weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and forged close ties with regular visitors. They noted that they had given the venture everything they had on both a personal and financial level, continuing to fight through challenges in the belief they could make it work. However, rising overheads and cumulative financial pressures eventually left them with no choice but to step away.
In their message, Hannah and Laura expressed their gratitude to family, friends, suppliers, customers, and the wider Bolsterstone community for their loyalty, recommendations, and kind words at the bar. While devastated to see their chapter at the venue end, they added that they remain proud of the welcome they provided and the time they spent serving the village.
The sisters plan to announce details regarding their official final days behind the bar shortly, and they have encouraged locals to stop by for a visit before they hand over the keys.
