Cornish pub closes due to Tier 3 and 4 Covid 'rule breakers'
Bosses say some visitors have made life 'unpleasant' for staff
A pub in north Cornwall has temporarily closed after some visitors from Tier 3 and 4 areas reportedly didn't follow the coronavirus rules.
King Arthur's Arms in Tintagel says some people from higher Covid-19 restriction postcodes have made life 'unpleasant' for staff when refused entry.
Bosses said they hope those who have ignored the government advice are not part of the 'army of silent Covid carriers' who could 'put the village at peril'.
In a statement on the pub's website they have thanked those people who have followed the guidance.
The pub is now closed for the foreseeable future but the closure will stay under review.
"We are now closed for the near future but we will be keeping this action under review.
"This decision is in a large part due to some visitors from tiers 3 and 4 post codes failing to adhere to the stay at home rules and guidance and are, when they are denied entry, actively making life unpleasant for our staff who have been diligently maintaining our strict Covid-19 precautions.
"Thank you the many customers who have gracefully accepted cancellations of the holidays they have been looking forward to and all the locals and visitors who have quietly and respectfully followed the Covid-19 rules and guidelines when using our pub.
"To those who have ignored the government rules/advice and have actually found accommodation in our area, we can but hope that you are not a part of the army of silent coronavirus carriers that do not have symptoms, so by your very presence put our village at peril."
