Rat Race Ale House Opening Hours

We will be

CLOSED

Sunday 22 March 2020

for the foreseeable future.

19 JULY 2021 UPDATE...

The current relaxation of the COVID regulations

would be sufficient to reopen The Rat.

However, the lease expires on August 18 and 

we have yet to see any sign of a renewal.

It will take an investment of several thousand to

reopen, so until a lease renewal is achieved, 

reopening is not an option.

Of course, there's every chance that by the time 

the lease is sorted, we may be back in lockdown.

Again.

Remember when life was "normal"?

Fret not.  The Rat will return.

THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SUPPORT.  

The Rat is  still  in a far healthier position than

many other businesses or individuals, so when

the Government tells us we can open as usual

AND the Railways/Property agents have agreed

a new lease...

WE'LL  BE  BACK!!!

 And of course...

We are now

CLOSED on ALL

Sundays and Mondays.

FOOTBALL MATCH CLOSURES

As The Rat Race Ale House is no longer obliged to close for Hartlepool United home football matches, we will be open, unless there is an elevated risk of trouble. In the event of a closure for football, we will give as much notice as possible on www.ratracealehouse.co.uk

Nothing to report!
