Pitcher and Piano Richmond is offering huge discounts on drinks after announcing its closure on Saturday, 15 June "for one last big weekend".

The bar will be shutting its doors after owners of the chain, brewing and hospitality company Marston's, revealed its plans to sell £100m worth of its pubs over the next two years.

Via its Instagram, Pitcher and Piano Richmond said: "As many of you may have heard, sadly we will be closing our doors next Saturday 15th June.

"We would love to see as many of you as possible before we go so from today will be offering 40% off all spirits, with further offers coming from Monday!

"No booking required, walk in and see us for one last big weekend in the sun."

Various users expressed their sadness under the post at learning about the news, with one saying "oh no...end of an era."

According to its website, Marston's has over 1,400 venues across the UK, with the Bridge St, Richmond site making way from its portfolio.

A spokesperson explained: "Marston's has a stated objective to constantly review its non-core estate. This equates to less than 2% of our total estate of 1400 pubs.

"We are in discussion about exiting a small number of individual sites.

"Particular to Pitcher & Piano in Richmond, it has had a long and successful tenure in the town, and we'd like to thank everyone that has visited us and enjoyed their time in this unique location."
