Unfortunately, we are unable to keep the Zebra alive.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We are so thank you all for all your support over the last four years. It was an amazing time and experience made so much better by meeting you all.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It said its Facebook page will officially close at the end of the month.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  They added: &#8220;We would like to wish the new tenants the very best.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Residents have flooded their page with support as the couple leave the high street.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  One said: &#8220;You should both be proud of yourselves for what you achieved at the Fat Zebra.
