SPLIT CHIMP is no longer



Newcastle's first micropub has shut up shop after 8 years because of all the issues that are becoming all too familiar to anybody trying to survive, not just micropubs. 



Increases in energy costs, the rent and the council tax have all taken their toll.



A blackboard at the Split Chimp quotes:



Rent: £19,500  >  £29,950

Rates: £11,500  >  £38,780



Other issues that are also a dampener to trading are also quoted.



Thanks for the enjoyable times over the last 8 years.
