Ashley & Kelly would like to make the following announcement;

The Sun is about to set on our amazing pub here in Colton. We have been at the helm of this beautiful building for over 18 years and we now feel that the time has come to take stock and diversify the business. We will be closing the doors at the end of service on Sunday 24th July.

We will be reopening later in the year- we will look different, our offering will be different- but we will still be here and offering first class hospitality that you have experienced with us over all these years.

The hospitality industry has changedsignificantly over our tenure-ship of this beautiful building, but not to the degree as we have seen over the last few years…. That said, we have not thrown in the towel, we have not given up. The pub trade is all about diversification, and as an industry we are the best (we’ve had to be), we will be making a few changes and WE WILL BE BACK….

We would like to thank EVERYONE who has supported us, worked with us, critiqued us… you have made us into what we have become over these years.

Ashley & Kelly have, and will continue to play a massive part in the background of promoting, enhancing and highlighting the hospitality industry as a first class career choice and making it the best it can be to all future superstars.

Please keep an eye on our social media over the coming months to see what will be happening and when we are ready to open the doors once more. For all your stocks of Fairfax Spirits and Ashley’s Chocolates, our website shops will still be operating 24/7 with delivery straight to your door- we don’t want you to miss out!

So, this isn’t goodbye, it’s a THANK YOU, we’ve had a ball and achieved so much more than we expected when we pulled up with our (then) two kids and a car full of possessions…..
We hope to see you before we close (book via website as always) or when we reopen in due course.
