Agree.
Especially with winter on the horizon it was a good place for locals with less money or who are older or live alone to be warm, get a cheap hot meal and talk to someone.
Also the students/young people that go there on friday and weekends for cheap booze,
where will they go?
Tho not a customer there (I've been once! fantastic interior) I really appreciate what it brings to the local community.
Also sad that the staff will be made redundant in the run up to Christmas.
I wish they could have kept it trading until then at least
