The Wetherspoons restaurant on Dartford Road has closed its kitchen doors today (August 23) and no one knows why.

A sign stuck to the doors said: "Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to serve any food.

"We apologise for any inconvenience. Kind regards, The Hippodrome Team."

A post on social media has already attracted dozens of people, all speculating as to why the restaurant and hotel chain has stopped serving.

One person joked: "Hot weekend and the younger staff probably don't want to work, so they might have to rely on the older generation again."
