Our Business

Pubs ‘n’ Bars Plc owns and operates a group of community pubs located mostly in the south of England. Since the Company’s admission to AIM in September 1999, the estate has grown from 51 to 110 public houses. 106 of these are owned by Pubs 'n' Bars PLC, the balance being operated on behalf of third parties

68 of the pubs are operated by managers. Most of the pubs are ‘locals’ and each one has its own character, with the majority of its customers coming from the immediate area. We aim to maximise profits by encouraging our managers to take an entrepreneurial approach to developing their businesses and by introducing new income streams such as food and accommodation.

Our estate also includes 42 tenanted pubs held by individual operators on leases which vary in terms from 3 to 20 years, most of which are tied to our nominated beer supplier.We believe these pubs perform best when in the hands of ‘owner operators’ and are not ideal as managed houses. Although we have no direct involvement in the day-to-day management of these pubs, we work alongside our tenants to maximise their potential.
