JD Wetherspoon will sell two of its pubs in Hammersmith and Fulham , the chain has announced.

The Oyster Rooms in Fulham Broadway Centre, and Plough & Harrow in Hammersmith are two of 33 pubs across the country being placed on the market by the chain.

Spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “Wetherspoon has put both The Oyster Rooms in Fulham and The Plough & Harrow in Hammersmith on the market. Our other pubs in the area are not affected.

“We appreciate that our loyal customers will be disappointed with the decision. Like other companies, Wetherspoon has to take commercial decisions, which while beneficial for the company, might not always be welcome by customers.

“The pub will remain trading as normal until or if it is sold. There will be no job losses as a result of the announcement.”

The sale, via CBRE and Savills, will see the newly-listed properties go on the market alongside 12 others put up for sale last year.

A spokesperson on behalf of the joint agents commented: “The portfolio represents an excellent opportunity to acquire high volume businesses with strong food sales in established locations which are fitted to an extremely high standard.

"We therefore anticipate a broad range of interest from pub, bar and restaurant groups.”
