Psalter Tavern - Closed

Noticed its permanently closed. Anyone know whats happened with it?

 

I was a duty manager there until it closed, the place was a disgrace in my opinion, lots of issues that would never be dealt with by the powers that be, the writing was on the wall for a while, only allowing £300 a week budget for stock which essentially is around two barrels, £80 a week food budget, when the minimum order was £100. There was a hole in the roof of the main bar area which they never sorted, no heating in the pub area due to broken radiators.

 

The hotel rooms weren't up to much either, but I suppose for £30/£40 a night at timesyou couldn't expect The Ritz, its well worth a read of the trip advisor reviews!

 

BUt yeah closed over a month ago, staff were told that it would be closed for a week to ten days for a bit of maintenance, when what really happened was, we had no call from anyone just a P45 in the post and all staff made redundant. I feel sorry for the people that have booked rooms and paid deposits for parties in advance because I'll be surprised if they ever get anything back.

I'm truly sorry for you and other members of staff that have lost their jobs. Generally speaking hotel staff are some of the hardest working around and I hope everyone finds something soon. I am sure as a Duty Manager you'll know all about long hours!!

 

Rooms being sold at £30 / £40.00 and not being able to make it work and there are those on this forum who can see the merit of a 5 star hotel in Sheffield.

Well a £30 room above above a pub in brincliffe is a bit different to a 5 star hotel in the town centre isn't it.

Flats round there now?
