Fittleworth pub to close due to ‘insurmountable losses’ caused by pandemic
The decision to close The Swan pub was as a result of the ‘insurmountable losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic’, the leaseholders said.
“A lack of Government support in dealing with the constantly changing trading landscape since March, including phases of lock down and restricted opening practices, means the business is no longer viable,” they said.

“This business provides enough revenue to enable the pub to provide a welcoming place for the local community to meet throughout the rest of the year.
“It is with great regret that the owners have made this decision and they would like to thank the local community for its support and friendship over the past two and a half years.”
