07/03/2006 Ye Olde Cherry Tree closes (again).
We understand that Haven Hotels, Managers of Ye Olde Cherry Tree in Little Oakley, near Harwich, have gone into insolvency. The pub has been forced to close whilst things are being sorted out.
Colchester and NE Essex CAMRA will continue to support the campaign to reopen this excellent pub, which won several awards before the current troubles.
We send our best wishes to Abi, who took over the pub after the death of long serving owner Steve Chandler, but who has now seen two different pubcos collapse whilst she has been making a sterling attempt to keep the pub alive.
