The post read: "It’s with deep regret that as of April 2, the Black Swan will be closing its doors for the final time.

"Thank you to my loyal customers who have kept the doors open this long and our regular carvery food lovers. Please note last day for carvery is Sunday, March 26.

"I’m so sorry it's come to this and once again thank you for your loyalty, love Sue, Vanessa, Debbie, Trudie and Sonya."

It comes days after bosses at The Red Lion, in Silsden, said continually rising costs on "absolutely everything" left them with no other option but to shut down.
