A quintessentially English tea room pub nestled in the middle of a Fenland village is to close this weekend. The shock closure of Dotties Tea Room – housed in part of the Chequers public house at Friday Bridge near Wisbech – was announced today by owners Dotty and Russell Blakey.

“It is with the greatest of sadness that we will be closing our beautiful Dotties tea room for reasons totally behind our control,” they posted to their Facebook page.

“We have loved being part of such a lovely village and getting to know all the locals and the kind people that travelled for miles to see us.

“We would like to thank all our amazing staff and are so sad to have to let you all go but you have all been the best employees and we know you will go on to do great things.”
