Mystery surrounds closing of town pub.
Mystery surrounds why a Somerton pub has been abruptly closed down. Working class customers hoping to get into The Globe were left stranded when they turned up for their pints of mild last weekend and forced to go into the neighbouring White Hart and drink Babyshams.
There are unconfirmed rumours that the brewery asked the landlord to "spend more time with his family" and that a Huish Episcopi man who may have other pubs has taken on the lease. He, we believe, is re-opening the premises next week. There are no further details at the moment and, in the meantime, any of the pub's drinkers looking to go further afield for their favourite tipple are asked to try establishments in Street rather than make the dangerous journey to Langport.

Little is known about the new manager of the Somerton pub, not even his name...
