As a result, the area manager decided to close the pub for the whole weekend to carry out a “deep clean”.

Back in 2016, The Opera House was forced to close its door due to a suspected norovirus outbreak.

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershonn says the venue reopened as normal today (January 13).

He said: “A few members of staff reported ill and the manager and area manager took the decision to close the pub whilst a deep clean took place.”
