After the final Sunday lunch yesterday, a spokesperson said: “What a fantastic send-off we had yesterday!
“To everyone who joined us for one final Sunday lunch, popped in for a few drinks or simply came along to wish us well, you made our final day at Cadeby Pub & Restaurant a truly memorable one.
“The atmosphere, laughter, familiar faces and genuine warmth shown by everyone made it a fitting end to our chapter.
“It really was a terrific send-off, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to finish.
“As our chapter closes, we look forward to the next.”
Earlier this month, a statement said: ““After months of deliberation, difficult conversations and yet another challenging trading period, we have reached a decision we never wanted to make.
“The British pub industry is facing immense pressures. Increasing taxes and regulatory burdens, soaring operating and employment costs, and changing consumer habits have made life increasingly difficult for even long-established businesses.
“Sadly, Cadeby has not been immune. Despite continued investment, hard work and determination, the financial realities of operating the business have become unsustainable.
“This is not a decision we have taken lightly. It is one we have fought hard to avoid.

“For decades, Cadeby has been more than a pub and restaurant. It has been a place for family celebrations, Sunday lunches, friendships and countless special memories. We are proud to have played a part in that history.
“We sincerely hope this is not the end of Cadeby’s story.
“The premises will now be placed on the market in the hope of finding a new operator who can bring fresh ideas, renewed enthusiasm and a new lease of life to this much-loved venue.
