The Wheatsheaf in West Wickham, Bromley, has closed under its outgoing operators after many years, with new owners set to take over.

The Wheatsheaf pub on High Street in West Wickham, Bromley, closed on 1 November under its outgoing operators. The leasehold interest had been put on the market earlier this year with an asking price of £85,000, with property agent Sidney Phillips announcing the sale in January.

The pub comprises a 75-cover bar and restaurant along with front and rear trade gardens providing seating for more than 150 customers. Its website described it as a recently refurbished venue serving drinks and home-cooked food using locally sourced produce, and it had hosted regular live music and private functions including christenings and wakes.

In a farewell message, the outgoing operators said: 'After many wonderful years, the time has come for us to turn the page and say goodbye to this chapter.' They thanked customers for their support, loyalty and patronage, stating that visitors had made the pub 'so much more than just a place to eat and drink' by creating 'a community, full of memories we'll always treasure.' New owners are set to take over the pub.
