The town centre pub is shrouded by scaffolding with a sign that states it is closed for ‘ongoing repairs to the building.’

On Wetherspoons website, it confirms the pub will re-open on June 9, including the rooftop terrace.

Layton Rakes opened in 2011 and with its proximity to the seafront, has been a popular venue ever since.
