The Ruddington Arms

29/10/2025

We have moved onto pastures new and this is our new venture. We can’t wait to see you again! You might even see the fried chicken on the menu 😂

We never thought this day would come, but after 12 years we are sad to announce the closure of The Ruddington Arms.

First and foremost, we would like to thank all our customers for the amazing support over the years, our loyal team and incredible suppliers, many of whom we have worked with for nearly 20 years!! None of what we have achieved would have been possible without any of you. Whether its being listed in the Michelin Guide for 10 years, winning pub of the year at the NRB awards or even the support you all gave through covid.

Running a hospitality business has never been more difficult and the past 3 years has taken its toll on us mentally, physically and financially. After covid we took the decision to support our other businesses from the strength of the RA, but eventually this started to back fire so we downsized our business and we took on debt to try to find a way through. Unfortunately the debt we have accrued is no longer serviceable and we cannot continue.

As always in these situations there will be people ready to pounce and listen to rumours and criticize. Yes, we have made mistakes but who had the answers in this unprecedented economical upheaval since covid, and for whatever people may think we tried to do things the right way, keep local people employed, use local suppliers and support local events. We also want to clarify that all staff and suppliers will be paid in full.

We could go on forever about the whys and what ifs, but unfortunately we have found ourselves here. After what has been an amazing 12 years in the main and we are very proud of what we achieved all that’s left to say now is thanks and goodbye
Mark and Sarah
