A popular 16th-century village pub near Odiham is set to close.

The Fox & Goose in Greywell will be pulling its last pint on Wednesday, July 28.

Owners Chris and Phil said on Facebook they were saying goodbye at ‘the end of this chapter’ but hoped to open a pub ‘near you’ in future.

The owners wrote on Facebook: “This place has been such a huge part of our lives. It’s not just been a pub to us, it’s been our home.

“We’ve shared so many laughs, late nights, stressful days, celebrations, and memories with all of you over the years.”

They thanked past and present staff, saying they could not have done it without their ‘little family.’

Addressing their customers, they added: “Thank you for supporting us, for chatting at the bar, for bringing your friends and families, and for making this pub what it has been. So many of you have become much more than customers to us.”

The post said they don’t know when their doors will be open again, so it's goodbye for now.

They finished: “This isn’t the end of us though… just the end of this chapter. We’ll be taking a little time, and then hopefully we’ll be seeing you all again somewhere else.

“Coming to a pub near you soon. For now, all we can really say is thank you, for everything.”

In September 2014, the pub was designated as a community asset by Hart District Council.

The Fox & Goose have been approached for comment.
