The Kings Arms in Saffron Walden was forced to close on Sunday and Monday because of a lack of beer caused by a shortage of delivery drivers.
Just this month lorry operators like Bretts in Cambridgeshire told ITV News Anglia that they are finding it impossible to recruit enough drivers causing major issues in the supply chain.
For many pubs that could get worse because of strike action by drivers for Northampton based logistics giant GXO in a dispute over pay.
