A BAR owner who refused to shut during lockdown has finally closed after receiving death threats, but claimed: “I’m 100 per cent legal”.
"Since coming to Cleethorpes 15 years ago I've put money into the pier and opened a family friendly venue that attracts people to the resort." Mr Pungi has been using a click and collect order system, claiming customers all kept to the two-metre rule as they waited to collect their booze outside the North East Lincolnshire spot.
Under current lockdown rules takeaway pints are not allowed until April 12, when pub gardens open back up.A North East Lincolnshire Council spokesman said: "Following reports of the contravention of health protection regulations at the Beach Bar in Cleethorpes over recent days, we can confirm that Council officers have now served the owner of the premises with a £1,000 Fixed Penalty Notice.Failure to comply, without reasonable excuse, with the rules is considered a criminal offence.
