Councillor Gerald Dee told the newspaper that it is hard for the pub to compete with cheap alcohol sold in supermarkets.
"I would like to see it continue as a successful pub but I am not sure if it could unless they started serving food," he added.
The Campaign for Real Ale noted that the site has hosted a pub for at least 60 years, having been known as the New Inn, the Blinking Owl and Fox & Elm over time.
