Stonehouse Pizza & Carvey who operate the site had announced a few days earlier that no food would be served one day and that only the bar would be open from 1.30pm.

A spokesperson for The Squirrel added: "We constantly review our estate and look for new opportunities for our locations.

“The Squirrel has now closed but the site has been leased to a new owner and will reopen later this month.

“We thank our loyal customers for their support in the past and wish the new owners the very best with their plans for The Squirrel going forward."
