SHEPHERD NEAME COMPLETES PUBS ACQUISITION
Further to the announcement on Friday 10 June 2016, Shepherd
Neame, the Kent-based brewer, pub and hotel operator, has completed
its discussions with Enterprise Inns plc which has resulted in the
purchase of seven freehold pubs in Kent, Sussex and Surrey. The
purchase of the eighth pub is expected to complete in due
course.
The pubs are:
-- Chequer Inn in Steyning, West Sussex
-- Crown & Anchor in Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex
-- The Farm House in West Malling, Kent
-- The Greyhound in Keston, Kent
-- Hen & Chickens in Bisley, Surrey
-- The Kings Head in Guildford, Surrey
-- The Sussex Oak in Warnham, West Sussex
All the pubs will continue to operate under their current lease,
and during the past fortnight, representatives from Shepherd Neame
have met with the licensees to discuss transitional arrangements
and future investment plans.
The completion of the sale takes Shepherd Neame's total number
of pubs to 335, of which 59 are operated under management and 269
as tenanted and leased and seven under commercial free of tie
leases.
All Shepherd Neame pubs will be operated under the Voluntary
Code of Practice.
