“We didn’t set out to create a group of pubs. We started by buying our village local, The Baiting House, after it had fallen into disrepair and closed.

Every pub in the group has a personal connection to us - I remember visiting each of them as a child with my parents for Sunday lunch or a glass of lemonade in the garden on a summer’s day.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created, not least because it’s given a new lease of life to country pubs which had previously been neglected and even abandoned.”
