Chairman, pub landlord Brian Rey, 77, found out in lockdown the page would be suspended for 90 days.
Appeals failed and when Covid limits lifted, punters were unable to book a roast at his “centre of the gravy universe” Ship Inn.
Baffled Brian told The Sun about the “absurd” ban and we got the page restored.
Facebook said it was suspended in error and apologised.
Brian, of Aldborough, North Yorks, said: “We’ve been frantic because lockdown was easing and we had no way of communicating with our regulars.
