A wine bar and restaurant in central Farnham is to close less than two years after opening.

On the social media page of Jack and Alice Farnham, the owners said they were closing the venue with a “heavy heart.”

“It was a heartbreaking decision, but one that unfortunately had to be made,” the statement read.

“We have loved being part of Farnham and will truly miss everyone we’ve met along the way. Thanks for the memories.”

The trendy 'wine bar and pantry' opened on The Borough in June 2023. It was the second branch of Jack and Alice following the success of its original venue in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, which opened in 2015.

A sign on the door of the venue on Thursday (January 16) evening read: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that we are closed until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding during this time.”

Jack and Alice is the second business to close its doors in The Borough in recent months, after the Blue Bear Bookshop relocated from Farnham to Hartley Wintney last August.
