The Fareham Pub announced it will close after the new year after it failed to attract sufficient custom

The Fareham in Trinity Street has said that a failure to attract enough customers has led tot he decision to call time on the business which had reopened in December last year under a new landlady who was full of optimism for its future.

It followed the sudden closure of the venue due to financial struggles, with its previous landlords also closing the pub last year saying that rising business costs had left them with no other choice.

This time the team, led by experienced landlady Bear Whittingham, said they did everything they could to attract customers with live music and its food offering but ‘simply didn’t get enough custom through the door’.

Its statement said: “We at The Fareham Pub would like to thank everyone that supported us over the past year! We will be shutting our doors 1/1/25 so let’s meet up new year and go out with a bang. All bands will be contacted that are booked for the new year but just before rumours get about we wanted to let you know we will be closing our doors!”
