PANDEMIC PUTS SQUEEZE ON WORKFORCE AT THREE POPULAR CLEETHORPES PUBS

Trawlerman - popular with residents and holidaymakers

AN uncertain future beckons for staff at three Cleethorpes hostelries within the portfolio of brewery and pub chain Marstons.

Nationwide, it has announced plans to cut 2,150 jobs - its total workforce is about 13,500 - in the wake of the pandemic.

Along with all pubs and hospitality, trade has been hit by the 10pm curfew, not to mention additional restrictions - not least, lockdown - in some parts of the UK, including Scotland.

Requirements for full table service and for face masks to be worn by staff and customers has also increased price pressures.

It is not yet known where the axe will fall, so it is a question of wait-and-see for  employees at the three popular and well-managed Marstons drinkeries in Cleethorpes:

* The Pear Tree

* Trawlerman

*  Smugglers 

They want to know whether they are at risk either of redundancy or significantly fewer hours.

A consultation with affected staff is understood to be underway, although there's no timescale on when this will be concluded.

Smugglers - located on the seafront
