The future of a city centre business hangs in the balance after its landlord took back control of the building due to issues with rent.
The Games Table (TGT), in Lower Goat Lane, could be closing according to its owner Kieran Meenaghan who said he had "some important, and sad, news about the future" of the business.
In a post on social media yesterday, Mr Meenaghan said: "Our landlords took the decision to retake control of the premises due to arrears for rent and buildings insurance.
"Sadly I did not know this was on the cards.
"Following a recent meeting with the estate agents to discuss the repayment, I believed the landlords were happy with our proposed plan for repayment.
"I am trying everything I can to rectify the situation with them so we can get back on track to paying this off and providing a great place for people to enjoy tabletop games together.
"I am not sure I will be able to though.
"Either way, if this is the end of TGT, I have taken steps to ensure the team get paid in full and have as much support off us as possible.

"What does this mean for customer orders and loyalty points I am not sure currently, but I will be working on this.
"Thank you from all the team and myself for all the good times.
"I really hope it isn't the end but, sadly, it might be."

In May last year Mr Meenaghan outlined a series of price increases in order to keep up with rising costs which included a new minimum limit of two drinks per four-hour session.
The hope was this would help improve the business' viability.
TGT, which opened in 2018, offers a range of board games and table top entertainment including card games, miniature games and roleplaying games.
