This Sunday is CLUB LEWSEY's last day for Merrison & Co as management. Let them go out in style before their final last orders🍺

Many of you will miss Caribbean Sundays, the many community events, celebrations and goodbyes hosted there. Not to mention access to Caribbean cuisine handy for that area.

By Monday morning, CLUB LEWSEY will be refurbished and changes management.

CLUB LEWSEY will re-open in June as a Sports Bar under new management. Merrison's page - The Club Lewsey - will remain his.

The new owners are also apparently making a cricket pitch but that's a grapevine whisper.

Thanking Merrison for the support he and his crew gave to our community over 13 years. We wish them all the best.

Sadly, this is the end of another Luton era 😔
