Nags Head Chapel Allerton: Customers mystified as popular Leeds pub appears to have closed its doors

The Yorkshire Evening Post understands that the Nags Head, in Chapel Allerton, has not opened this week - although it is uncertain whether the closure is permanent. One regular customer claims staff have been told to look for other employment.

The Nags Head is owned by Tadcaster-based Samuel Smith’s Brewery, which operates around 200 pubs - largely in the north of England. Located on Town Street, it was established in 1727 and is one of the oldest pubs in the city.

The customer told the YEP: “For a bizarre reason Sam Smith’s has locked the doors of this popular local pub. No reasons were given. The local pub-goers are mystified as to what is going on. It’s bizarre.”
