Seems to be a strange decision to me; all 3 pubs are successful with a long-term future: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/stratford-town-trust-refutes-claims-it-is-selling-off-the-family-silver/

A successful and profitable pub is a rarity, these days. Do they know something that the rest of us don't?

Selling up before the economy crashes over the next 5 years?

I hope they have done their investigations and drawn valid conclusions. But things don't look good for the future. Talking to the landlady of my local, she says that once the lease is up she's finished.
