The Mount by Glynn Purnell in Henley in Arden will close its doors following its final service on Sunday 15 March 2026.

The pub first opened on 30 March 2022 and has enjoyed four successful years serving the local community.

The owners have taken the difficult decision to close the business. Rising running costs, increasing food prices and energy bills have made the pub no longer financially viable.

Customers who hold vouchers are asked to contact the pub directly to arrange a booking and redeem them before the final service on 15 March.

The owners have confirmed that all staff are being supported through the closure and that all suppliers will be paid.

Glynn Purnell said: “After four wonderful years, the very tough decision has been made to close The Mount. I’ve genuinely loved my time at the pub- it’s been a special place with a brilliant team and fantastic guests who have supported us from day one.

The hospitality landscape has become increasingly challenging, and despite everyone’s hard work, it’s simply not sustainable to continue. I’m hugely grateful for the opportunity and for the commitment shown throughout. I wish the owners every success for the future.

I’ll now be focusing my time on my other ventures– Trillium and Plates by Purnell’s in Birmingham, and The Wood Norton in Evesham– and I look forward to welcoming guests there.”

The owners said: “This has been an incredibly difficult decision for us to make. We are so proud of what The Mount has achieved since opening in March 2022 and of the team who have worked tirelessly to make it such a welcoming and well-regarded pub.

However, with the continued rise in operating costs- from food and drink to energy and general overheads- it has become clear that the business is no longer viable. We want to thank our staff for their dedication and professionalism, our suppliers for their support, and, most importantly, our loyal customers who have supported The Mount over the past four years.

We are committed to ensuring our team are looked after and that all suppliers are paid, and we hope to see many of our guests before we close our doors on 15 March.”

Further updates will be shared via the pub’s social media channels.
