LANDLORDS of the Ship Inn on Piel Island have said goodbye to the pub for the final time. Steven Chattaway and wife Sheila have said an emotional farewell to the pub they have called home for the past 15 years. Mr Chattaway said: “We are really sad to be leaving but the time has come. “We hadn’t planned to say goodbye just yet, but because of the difficulties created by the Covid, we have sadly decided to call it a day. “As everyone is aware the pandemic has been an incredibly challenging time for the hospitality industry and we had to make the difficult decision to move on. We had planned to stay for longer – we were even in the process of creating a new menu for the pub, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be.”
