The chairman of J.D.Wetherspoons has to decided to offload twenty pubs though out the country has profits have slumped along with their share prices falling at the end of 2015. One of the pubs selected for sale is the 'Courthouse' at Mansfield none of the Chesterfield pubs are for sale. The Swim Inn on West Street at Sheffield has been sold to Hawthorne Leisure the other Wetherspoon's are still trading as normal. Too many pubs perhaps, prices have risen to cover costs and with the new National Wage coming in could see more pubs placed on the open market but who would buy them ?
