A large York pub and hotel business has gone into liquidation owing more than £60,000.

But the operating group which owns the landmark building says it is planning to reopen it after a refurbishment.

The company that ran the Clifton Hotel, on Water Lane, appointed liquidators on November 7. A statement of the affairs of The Clifton Hotel (York) Limited revealed the extent of its debt.

It owes £25,000 in VAT, £8,000 to City of York Council and £10,000 to energy company Npower. There are 16 creditors in all, including the six company directors who are each owed £2,500.

The winding up order comes a year after the pub was taken over by new management. The pub had a large function room and ran popular karaoke nights and Sunday lunches.

New year, new plans

A spokesperson for Punch said:

As owners of the Clifton Hotel, we are confident that the site can be transformed into a thriving business.

We are currently developing plans to invest in the hotel and should be in a position to announce more details in the new year.
