A Coventry pub and restaurant have been ordered to close after a man was attacked at the venue and left with serious injuries. It will now be an offence for anyone to enter The Pilot Pub and Maharaja restaurant, other than the owner.

The pub, located along Catesby Road in Holbrooks, was stripped of its licence earlier this year following a vicious brawl. A man was left with potentially life-changing injuries after the attack, which happened at the pub in November last year.

The pub will now be closed until April 24 this year. The order was granted at Coventry Magistrates Court on Wednesday (January 25).

The venue's alcohol and entertainment license was revoked on December 8. There have also been noise complaints from residents in the area, police said.

In November, we reported the Pilot had lost its music licence - but was still allowed to stay open. It came after eight noise complaints were made.

Then the pub closed down in December. That happened after the venue temporarily lost its premises licence when police applied to Coventry City Council for a fast-track review.

The licence was then stripped in a hearing earlier this month. A man was attacked at the venue and left with potentially life-changing injuries - and that incident played a key part in the decision.

After the attack in November, police had said: "At around 8.40pm a group of men attacked another man on the premises, inflicting potentially life-changing injuries."
