Even though I release updates at least once a month, there are always one or two Spoons that temporarily close between releases.

It’s always advised to check the Spoons you are hoping to visit, before travelling across the continent, because they can often close unexpectedly.

For example there are currently 5 Spoons that are temporarily closed:

• The Railway Bell, Barnet, England (re-opens Tuesday 9th June 2026) website
• The Black Boy, Newtown, Powys, Wales (re-opens Wednesday 10th June 2026) website
• The Standing Order, Hampshire, England (re-opens Monday 15th June 2026) website
• The George, Croydon, England (re-opens Tuesday 21st July 2026) website
• The Humphrey Bean, Kent, England (re-opens Tuesday 7th July 2026) website

UPDATE: Thanks to a follower on twi…. I mean X (thanks Rob M). Although this one is showing as currently open, looking at news websites its actually temporarily closed for a £550K refurbishment.

• The Samuel Peto, Folkestone, England (re-opens either late June or July 16th 2026) website
