Just wanted to pick your brains as I know a lot on here know about pubs...

I've recently embarked on a project where I need to contact pubs / working clubs etc for something. I had a lot of success using the 'shepherd & neame' website as I was aware they owned a lot of pubs around this area. (Used their list of pubs and contact us pages to get hold of many venues easily). My question is, can anyone list me other Brewerys like shepherd & neame who own a large number of venues? Anywhere in England is the target market....

Help much appreciated!

Greene King (also own Spirit Pub Company now)

A lot of them aren't owned by breweries. Assuming that isn't an issue, also:

Punch Taverns

Mitchell's and Butlers own Nicholsons, All Bar One, Sizzling Pubs, Toby Inns, Crown Carvery (i.e.The Sportsman at Withdean) Harvester, Browns, Ember Inns, and a few others, so a wide variety there, and plenty of them in our neck of the woods.

Just to be pedantic Whitbreads do not own any pubs or brewery now. They pulled out to concentrate on hotels and Costa Coffee Shops.

Nope can be owned by anyone - I just thought Brewerys best way to go as it was so easy on the Shepard & Neame site to contact individual venues with a copy and paste and a few clicks. I couldn't find a list / databases of venues that wasn't free either - although admittedly didn't look that hard - I'm sure there's a pub guide directory I can also use somewhere. I did try trip advisor bits too but have only recently started the project. Thanks for your help chap.

Beefeater, Brewer's Fayre and Table Table are Whitbread names still. You could argue the toss over whether they are really restaurants, I concede.

I would think the 3 largest holders of pubs are

Enterprise mostly leasehold
Greene King some leasehold and some managed
Punch Taverns leasehold mainly.

Cant think of others that have more pubs only M& B mainly managed chains.

They have always maintained that they pulled out of the brewery business as a result of the Monopolies Commision rulings in the 1990s. I thought that they sold off Beefeater etc but I could well be wrong so wouldnt argue. They definitely have given up brewing.


Just googled it they still own those brands but exchanged a number of Beefeaters for hotels.

Their largest shareholder I think is a tax exile Joe Lewis who is also the largest shareholder of Spurs.

I thought Vintage Inns was part of their portfolio also.
