Kenilworth's new Wetherspoon was forced to close temporarily this weekend.

The Dictum of Kenilworth was shut for a period on Saturday (October 4).

Customers were greeted with a sign in the window which simply said: "We are currently closed due to maintenance issues. We will be closed until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience."

The pub was open again for Sunday.

Wetherspoon has since clarified the issue, saying: "The pub had a drainage issue and for health and safety reasons it made the decision to close for a short period to rectify the situation."

The Dictum of Kenilworth opened at The Square in July this year after years of planning applications and works at the former Poundland unit.

Pub giant Wetherspoon ultimately invested £3.2 million in the new boozer.
