Village pub up for auction at £200,000 weeks after owners warned they would have to close
A village pub has been listed for auction at £200,000, two weeks after the owners warned they would close if business didn't pick up quickly.
On May 18 the team at the Plough at Allscott, near Telford, warned that they would have to close their doors due to an increase in costs and gradual decline in visitors. It came just a few months after the pub reopened, in October 2023, under new boss Nick Shuker and his sons Dylan and Gavin Kelly.
The trio were offered the lease last year by owner Malcolm Challoner, but the pub has now been listed for auction with a guide price of £200,000.
