According to a report by The Business Desk, Via Fossa, in Canal Street, will shut for good on October 19.

The Greene King-owned pub, known for its views of the Nottingham Canal, is located inside a former warehouse.

A Greene King spokesperson told The Business Desk: “It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing the closure of Via Fossa. Our last day of trading is the 19th of October.

“Because of this, we are not taking any function/table bookings, and our stock is limited, so if you come by please don’t be disappointed if we don't have your favourite drink or meal!

“Via is a big part of our hearts and has been a staple of the canalside in Nottingham for a long time, so it is so upsetting that it is closing, but unfortunately these things happen.”

The spokesperson went on to thank customers for their support over the years.

Via Fossa has an average Google rating of four stars from 800 reviews.

Nottingham World has contacted Greene King for comment.
