The Inspiration for Pub Success Since 1794
Family brewer and pub operator Everards of Leicestershire has disputed claims it has outright refused to change the name of one of its pubs amid concerns over racial connotations.
The CEO of Hawthorn Leisure, Mark Davies, has revealed that the operator has made in the region of £6m from pub disposals during lockdown and is confident of recovering a further £1.7m in rent deferred from before 30 June.
Hawthorn Leisure’s CEO Mark Davies has revealed that despite a lack of Government guidance on the safe reopening of pubs, three quarters (74%) of his company's tenants intend to press ahead with a 4 July restart.
Brewer and pub operator Greene King has described the revelation that one of its founders profited from 19th century slavery and argued against its abolition as “inexcusable”.
A coalition of more than 50 breweries and pub companies have written to the Prime Minister, urging him to announce more details about when pubs will be allowed to reopen before tomorrow (Friday 19 June).
Some 42% of businesses are not intending to make July’s rent payment, a survey of hospitality operators has found.
