A YORK pub has closed suddenly, but its owners say it will re-open.

The Britannia Inn, in The Green, Acomb, was boarded up earlier this week.

Andrew Buchanan, director of pub operations at Daniel Thwaites brewery, said the pub would re-open.

He said: “Thwaites is committed to both the pub and Acomb. We are currently putting the finishing touches to a plan which will see us invest in the refurbishment of the Britannia and bring in new tenants who will be part of that investment programme.
