Sadly it looks like June will have its first casualty, when The Grey Friar, Preston closes as a Wetherspoons.

The good news is that the new owners will still operate it as a pub (hurrah). Apparently it has been a Spoons since the 1990’s - contact me if you visited it back in the 90’s. The truly shocking news, is that the 90’s is over 30 years ago!

The Final date appears to be 28th June 2026, so if you are looking to tick this one off you do have a little pre-warning. Don’t forget, even once this is no longer a Wetherspoons, you will still be able to log your visit as I keep even the closed Spoons in the App.

So long The Grey Friar…. 🍺
