WETHERSPOONS is closing another pub this month as more than a dozen remain on the market.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0pub giant\u00a0will close Nightjar, in Victoria Road, Ferndown\u00a0after it didn't renew its lease for the building.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The pub will stop serving pints for good on Sunday, September 24.<\/p>\n

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: "The company has decided it has served its break option on The Nightjar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"This is a commercial decision by Wetherspoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"All staff have been offered jobs at Wetherspoon pubs in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We appreciate that customers will be disappointed with the decision and are fully aware of the petition to save the pub."<\/p>\n

It comes after the chain \u2013 which has 827\u00a0pubs\u00a0across the UK \u2013 warned last September that\u00a0dozens of pubs\u00a0were being put up for sale.<\/p>\n

However, Wetherspoon has plans to open pubs in new locations.<\/p>\n

The budget boozer will open "The Star Light" in Heathrow's Terminal 4 in the place of the former site of Carluccio's at the start of October.<\/p>\n

It comes as new data from real estate intelligence firm Atlus Group showed that 383 pubs have disappeared for good so far this year.<\/p>\n

The overall number of pubs in\u00a0England\u00a0and Wales, including those vacant and being offered to let, fell to 39,404 at the end of June.<\/p>\n

That's down slightly from 39,634 at the end of the first quarter – the three months to March 31.<\/p>\n

The 383 which have closed their doors were either demolished or converted for other use, like to be used as\u00a0homes, offices, or nurseries.<\/p>\n

Which Wetherspoons branches have already closed?<\/h2>\n

Wetherspoons has already closed 31 of its pubs since they\u00a0went up for sale.<\/p>\n

Wetherspoons, like many other pub chains and retailers, has been hit hard by rising costs brought on by high\u00a0inflation.<\/p>\n

Wetherspoons' boss\u00a0Tim Martin\u00a0also said far more people now drink in their homes rather than in pubs.<\/p>\n

Pubs have been knocked by rising costs as\u00a0inflation\u00a0sends prices soaring and less demand among cash-strapped punters.<\/p>\n

Here's a full list of Wetherspoons branches that have been sold and closed in recent months:<\/p>\n
