Pub owners looking for new landlord
A PUB company has confirmed that it is looking for a new landlord, following a dispute with the previous one.
The Hurdles Bar and Restaurant in Station Road, Droxford, is in need of a new landlord after a lease dispute with Ei Group, who own the venue, caused the former one to leave.
Posting on The Hurdles website, the former landlord said: ‘We are closed because we have not reached agreement with Ei Group for a new lease.
‘Thank you for your support and good wishes.’
A spokesman for Ei Publican Partnerships said: ‘We can confirm The Hurdles bar in Droxford is temporarily closed after our previous publican decided not to renew their lease.
‘We are currently looking for a new operator to take over the site and hope to reopen as soon as possible.’
Little Johnny Russell’s pub in Albert Road, Southsea, is also undergoing a change of landlord under Ei Group – you can read all about it here.
