//OFFICIAL STATEMENT//
After an amazing four and a half years at The Miller Arms, Julie and I have made the decision to give notice and bring our time at the pub to a close.
It’s certainly not been an easy decision. We’ve had some fantastic years here and met so many wonderful people along the way — many of whom we’re very fortunate to now call friends rather than customers.
Over the last few months, however, the opportunity at The Miller Arms has changed considerably. With the new housing development taking place directly opposite the pub, the landscape and circumstances surrounding the business have altered significantly, bringing with them a number of challenges that we hadn’t anticipated when we originally took on the pub.
We did share a meeting with senior members of The Singleton Trust Mr Keith Walker and Mr David Kay around two years ago to ask them to seriously consider the implications this would have on the business as a whole but unfortunately they decided along with the Trust to press ahead..
As business owners, sometimes you have to look at things objectively and decide where your time, energy and investment are best placed. After a great deal of consideration, we both feel that now is the right time for us to move on and focus our attention on our other business interests.
This is purely a business decision and one that we believe is right for us and our future.
Most importantly, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported The Miller Arms and supported us personally over the last four and a half years.
We’ve shared some brilliant days, nights, celebrations, laughs and memories here, and we’re incredibly grateful for the friendships we’ve made along the way.
For now, it’s very much business as usual at The Miller Arms, and we look forward to enjoying the remainder of our time here with you all.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Onwards and Upwards..
