An Important Announcement to All Our Friends and Valued Patrons

It is with great sadness that Richard and Hein have to announce that The Pointer Inn will be temporarily closed until further notice , following a requirement from our business insurers due to concerns regarding the safety and compliance of the building’s electrical installation.

Following an independent electrical assessment, a number of significant safety issues have been identified within the electrical system and its components. These require urgent attention and remedial work before we can safely welcome customers and staff back onto the premises.

This has not been an easy decision, but the safety and wellbeing of everyone who visits or works at The Pointer Inn must always come first. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause and appreciate your understanding while the necessary work is carried out.

The good news is that we have plenty to look forward to!

We are already making plans for our return, and Richard is particularly excited about some wonderful new restaurant specials and what promises to be a very special Christmas at The Pointer Inn!

We fully intend to return with renewed energy, fresh ideas and the same enthusiasm for providing the warm welcome, great food and friendly atmosphere that you have come to know and love.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you for your continued support, kindness and encouragement. We are incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful customers and friends, and we cannot wait to see you all again.

We’ll be back before you know it. Watch this space!

With our very best wishes,

Richard, Hein & The Pointer Inn Team ❤️
