32 pubs up for grabs but The Yarborough and The Coliseum to stay in Wetherspoon portfolio

                                                                      

The Yarborough in Grimsby is handily located next to the railway station and a taxi rank

THE Yarborough Hotel in Grimsby looks like remaining in the ownership of JD Wetherspoon - at least for the foreseeable future.

Earlier this week, the company revealed that it was putting up for sale more than 30 of its pubs across England.

However, neither The Yarborough, nor its sister, The Coliseum Picture Theatre in Cleethorpes, are included in the list.

The Wetherspoon chain, founded by entrepreneur Tim Martin, operates around 800 pubs around the UK and Ireland.

The group said it had made a "commercial decision" as costs of staff wages and repairs rise. 

The full list of 32 Wetherspoon pubs put on the market is:

* Barnsley – Silkstone Inn

* Beaconsfield – Hope & Champion

* Bexleyheath – Wrong ‘Un

* Bournemouth – Christopher Creeke

* Cheltenham – Bank House

* Durham – Water House

* Halifax – Percy Shaw

* Hanham – Jolly Sailor

* Harrow – Moon on the Hill

* Hove – Cliftonville Inn

* London Battersea – Asparagus

* London East Ham – Miller's Well

* London Eltham – Bankers Draft

* London Forest Gate – Hudson Bay

* London Forest Hill – Capitol

* London Hornsey – Toll Gate

* London Holborn – Penderel's Oak

* London Islington – Angel

* London Palmers Green – Alfred Herring

* Loughborough – Moon & Bell

* Loughton – Last Post

* Mansfield – Widow Frost

* Middlesborough – Resolution

* Purley – Foxley Hatch

* Redditch – Rising Sun

* Sevenoaks - Sennockian

* Southampton – Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis

* Stafford – Butler's Bell

* Watford – Colombia Press

CBRE and Savills have been appointed to market the pubs.
