A WELL-known Weston watering hole has closed - but is likely to reopen in the coming months.

The Captain’s Cabin in Birnbeck Road has shut its doors to regulars after manager Kelly Edwards said she had a baby, and no longer enjoyed running the pub.

But Jonathan Dudd, who owns the pub, said the popular haunt would probably be reopened later this year.

He said: “It will be refurbished and we will find a new tenant for it.

“We have got several people interested in taking over, but it’s just a case of finding the right people.”

The Captain’s Cabin has been a popular pub and restaurant among residents and holidaymakers for decades.

At one time it was earmarked to be part of the redevelopment of the nearby Royal Pier Hotel site.
