💨 Abstract

The award-winning Emerald pub in Nottingham, known for its Indian cuisine and vibrant community space, closed after two years due to rising costs and internal pressures. The pub, which was voted the best in the Midlands, faced financial burdens from increased barrel prices, rent, and business rates. Internal issues, such as the departure of a business partner, also strained operations. The closure reflects broader struggles in the food and drink industry, exacerbated by the pandemic and economic challenges.
