Punch Pubs & Co has expanded its estate by acquiring four pubs from Everards, a Leicester-based brewing and pub company. The acquisition includes The Old Kings Head in Long Buckby, The Paget in Loughborough, The Cricketers in Leicester, and the Dog & Gun in Whetstone.
The deal adds to Punch’s existing portfolio of over 1,300 pubs across the UK. The transition is being managed in coordination with the current publicans and their teams to ensure operational continuity.
Everards, which has invested £3 million into its estate over the past year, stated that the sale will support ongoing reinvestment across its remaining venues.
