It added that the business ‘simply does not have enough cash reserves' to pay out Statutory Redundancy.
The Lord Mayors Pub was founded in 1668 and also features a gastropub, music venue and an off licence.
Several local businesses including Gourmet Food Parlour and Ko San Thai Gastro Bar have reportedly reached out to the 27 staff at the pub to offer them jobs.
