A cherished Buckinghamshire pub will pull its final pints this weekend, marking a sad end for a popular local haunt.
Last Call for a Local Favourite
The White Horse on London End in Beaconsfield has confirmed that Sunday, January 11 will be its last day of trading. The establishment will remain open until then, with staff urging the community to stop by for one last drink before the doors close for good.
In a statement, the team thanked loyal customers for their support over the years and expressed delight at the chance to serve patrons a final pint or two. Word of the impending shutdown had already begun circulating locally, prompting an outpouring of sadness from regulars.
Community Reaction and Industry Context
Heartbroken customers quickly took to social media to share their dismay at the news. One described it as a "superb pub" run by a "wonderful bunch of people," while another lamented the loss of a local venue with plenty of space, decent food, and lovely staff.
The pub is part of the Brunning and Price group, which operates approximately 81 pubs across the country. Other venues in the chain include The Rowbarge in Woolhampton and The Horse & Groom in Twyford. While no official reason has been given for the Beaconsfield closure, the company has directed customers to its other nearby sister pubs.
The End of an Era
The closure signifies the end of an era for the Beaconsfield location. Sunday evening will provide the last opportunity for locals to enjoy a drink within the walls of The White Horse.
This shutdown comes amid a challenging period for the UK's pub sector. The British Beer & Pub Association is currently calling for talks with ministers on the future of pubs, ahead of expected new support measures next week. The industry continues to campaign for vital help to save Britain's beleaguered boozers.
