Independent family brewer, Hall & Woodhouse, has made a number of pub acquisitions as part of its ongoing estate expansion, with more in the pipeline.

The company is on track to complete the purchase of 10 high-quality trading pubs this year, spread across both its Managed and Business Partnership (tenanted) divisions.

Earlier this year, Hall & Woodhouse sold a small collection of pubs to reinvest in assets which are better aligned to the business’ long-term strategy.

Mark James, Property Director at Hall & Woodhouse, explained: “At Hall & Woodhouse, we continually look to evolve as a business by proactively managing our estate and investing in pubs of the future.

“We are seeing some good opportunities at the moment, and our recent acquisitions add real quality, with many located in popular tourist locations across the south of England. These acquisitions will also significantly increase our bedroom stock.

“Hall & Woodhouse is ending the year in a strong position. We will continue to seek out further opportunities to grow through high-quality acquisitions that complement and enhance our existing estate.”

Recent acquisitions include Masons Arms, Odcombe; Hit or Miss, Amersham; Old Ship Aground, Minehead; and The Dolphin Hotel, Bovey Tracey. The pipeline also includes further sites in Devon, Dorset and Surrey.

Hall & Woodhouse is an independent family company based in Dorset that brews award winning Badger Ales and runs an estate of high-quality pubs in the south of England.

The company has a collection of c.170 beautiful pubs that make up its managed house and Business Partner estate, stretching from Bristol to Exeter, London to Brighton.
