Wetherspoons to shut beloved city-centre pub in WEEKS as exact date revealed
Mar 18, 2025
WETHERSPOONS is set to shut a beloved city-centre pub in a matter of weeks and now its exact closure date has now been confirmed.
Wetherspoons has now confirmed that it will shut up shop on Sunday, May 25.
It is believed that workers at The Spoon Gate, which is named after one of the 12 gates in the city's medieval wall, will be offered roles elsewhere in the company.
A spokesperson for Wetherspoons said: "It is a commercial decision taken by Wetherspoon.
"We thank all our staff and customers over the years."
The closure will mean punters in Coventry will now only have two other options other Wetherspoons pub.
The Spon Gate is not the only Weatherspoons branch set to close, with another pub shutting in a matter of days.
The seaside branch will be taken over by new owners, Hall & Woodhouse.
The boozer, which sits inside a grade II listed building on the seafront, was taken over by Spoons in 1996.

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the BBPA, said: "The scale of these closures is completely avoidable because pubs are doing a brisk trade.
"Consumer demand is there, however, profits are being wiped out with sky high bills and pubs are facing yet more rates and costs come April.
"We’re right behind Labour’s mission to supercharge growth and can deliver this economic boost across the UK, but only if it is easier for pubs to keep their doors open.
