A popular village pub is closing its doors for a few weeks to give staff a well needed break after the busy Christmas and New Year period.
The Cross Guns Inn in Bolton announced it would be closed from this week.
In a statement the pub's management said: “As we enter the new year, The Cross Guns will be closed from the 3rd of January for the next few weeks to give our staff a well deserved rest and to allow our team to make some adjustments.
“We hope you understand and we apologise for any inconveniences.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us through this past year and we hope to see you all for another great year.”
Anyone who has a voucher for the pub can use them by June this year.
The Cross Guns Inn closes after every New Year to give staff a break.

It was brewery owned for many years until it was purchased in 2017 by the current owners and completely refurbished.
In May, 2021, and Jon Peek joined the team as the new general manager.
Once again, the property was completely overhauled with improvements including an outdoor dining area and bar, open plan kitchen and the addition of an art deco cocktail bar.

Jon and his team offer a comprehensive menu ranging from updated pub classics like home-made scotch egg, to seasonal based offerings like pigeon and venison.
