Former pub in Wickham set to reopen as new restaurant

01 June 2023

The Square Cow pub in Wickham is set to close but a new restaurant will take its place.

The Square Cow, a traditional pub in Wickham Square, will reopen after a substantial refit as ‘No1 The Square’, ‘a top Brasserie specialising in seafood’ which will be run in partnership with the Quob Park Estate.

Frank Dixie, the current landlord, announced the decision to close on Sunday, June 11 in a social media post in a local community group. Some Wickham residents expressed their sadness about the closure while others shared concern for Quob Park’s influence in the area. The business already owns ‘The Old Tea House’ in The Square.

The extensive refit will see the venue closed for between four and six weeks.
