A Greene King spokesperson said: “We’re looking for someone to take over the running of The Wheatsheaf as the previous operator has left.

“This pub has just recently benefited from a significant investment and is an excellent business opportunity for someone looking to run their own pub in the Peterborough area.

“We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this brief closure causes and to reassure the community that we are working to get the pub back open as soon as possible.”
