I believe the Little Mill at Rowarth has shut down. It was shut the other day.

Yes - it had a sign on the door saying "Closed due to harassment from High Peak Borough Council". Shame - they seem to have improved it a lot outside.

Anyone know what it's all about?

I just walked past this afternoon and saw the same notice on the door. maybe they've had a licensing problem?

Rumour has it it was something to do with planning permission for the new decking outside the pub?? But it's only rumour.

It's a unique pub - it would be great shame if it closed

Edward Mellor, estate agents, have the Little Mill up for auction, price range £750,000 to £800,000, sounds a good buy if it goes for that price

It will be fascinating to see what happens when it changes hands?  Will it end up as a private house?  That would be a sad day.

The Little Mill is in fact open again. It is still up for sale and is currently being run by the Chef and a manager.There was food available.

Reliable sources (as they say) tell me that the closure was caused by High Peak environmental health inspectors.   However, the problems were minor and have now been resolved - hence the re-opening.

As I understand it the reopening may only be temporary, pending the outcome of the sale.

it doesn't appear to have closed for more than a couple of weeks, Mrs NBT and I have popped in for the odd pint when passing but have never eaten. We called in one thursday and found they have a quiz, but twhen we left at a time approaching 10pm  they were only just handing out the answer papers!
