Burton-based commercial property agents, Rushton Hickman Ltd, has let a 5,163 sq ft (479.7 sq m) modern food grade specification unit to the Chilled Pubs Group for their in-house storage, food preparation and brewing purposes.
The property is located on Oaklands Farm, Coton Lane, Walton-on-Trent, and is fully insulated, including wipe down walls, cold store, resin flooring and internal drainage.
The Chilled Pubs Group are a well-established chain of local pubs specialising in high quality food offerings sourced from local suppliers.
Chilled Pubs commercial director, Travis Toyne, said: “We have a simple philosophy – seriously good food, in an unserious way!
“We chose this location as it is central to our current pubs and was only 1 mile from our previous smaller unit where the central team used to operate from. We needed somewhere that ticked the boxes for the company, but also our team who already worked in our central kitchen.
“We chose this unit as it gives us gives us consistency across our pubs, offers great growth opportunities, and the biggest opportunity for us is to be able to utilise the location of being on a dairy farm and explore the possibility of making Jersey Milk Gelato, having our own milk, and making our own butter.”
Rushton Hickman commercial property agent, Simon Walker, said: “I met Travis at another property, which didn’t quite meet with his requirements and advised him that he should view the unit that he has now leased without delay.
“I arranged access with my client and we both headed off to view that unit immediately, as finding the right property and completing the lease within a swift timescale was particularly important to Travis. Naturally, Chilled Pubs, the landlord and Rushton Hickman are all delighted to have completed on this lease deal.”
