Brunning and Price eyes 80 sites

18-Nov-2021 at 10:53
Multiple pub operator Brunning and Price has acquired two new sites, taking its total estate to 79, with plans for an eightieth in the pipeline.
The group is set to open Rake Hall, near to Cheshire Oaks shopping village, next month (Wednesday 8 December).

It is a Grade II-listed building, which originated as a country house, built in the seventeenth century. Brunning and Price has uncovered original features and the opening has created 60 new jobs in the area.

Some of the jobs have been filled through the company’s ongoing relationship with Cheshire College South and West.

Recent acquisition

The children’s play barn made way for a development kitchen to be created where Brunning and Price can continue to work with students to give them a taste of a career within the hospitality sector.

The business first came across Rake Hall in 2019 but had to put its plans on hold due to the pandemic.

The company has also recently purchased Tidbury Green Farm, near Solihull, which is also a seventeenth century, Grade II-listed building.

Brunning and Price had been interested in the site for a long time, first talking to the village residents in 2017.

Group portfolio

The building consists of many outhouses, barns and stables, surrounded by lawns, with a large duck pond to the front of the property. As a result of the fact this will be the first thing guests see, the pub has been renamed the Mallard.

Work is now beginning to plan the final design for the pub, which Brunning and Price hopes to present for planning in the new year so restoration can be started later in 2022.

The company currently has 79 pub restaurants in the north west of England and north Wales plus a branch in the Midlands and south.

The whole sector is down today, probably a reaction to the European Covid news this morning

[mashman] 18/11/2021 13:03

[mashman] 18/11/2021 12:03

more than happy to see some consolidation in the mid 90's here, before the push onto 110

[john09] 18/11/2021 11:34

Mash man is quiet again

I find the ding dong between certain posters on this thread tiresome. I should have deleted this as a 'favourite' when I sold out so a note about that:

I bought into 'City Centre Restaurants' as was at 51p back in 2000. It did well under the brilliant leadership of Alan Jackson and Andrew Page. I started selling when the share price peaked in 2014/5. Just as well - Andrew Page retired and was replaced by Danny Breithaupt, M.D. of the leisure side of the business. This was the ultimate example of the 'Peter Principle'. The share price halved and he resigned in Aug. 16. More recent management decided to rectify things by buying Wagamama but, IMHO, at too high a price leaving the company with too much debt. I sold my last tranche.

I am still here, partly out of nostalgia and partly thinking there may be an oportunity to buy back in.

Of the current comments I had to do a google and found this:

"Pan-Asian restaurant chain Wagamama is also in the hunt for new chefs amid a shortage in a third of its establishments".


That does not say any closed.

So - adobbing and mashman - for the sake of others please give it a rest or, for the sake of the rest of us, create your own a versus m thread.

[adobbing] 18/11/2021 00:18

Still no single site named that’s been forced to close because of a shortage of chefs ?

Stick to scratch cards, it might help you recover some of your losses on MORE - the stock for morons like you😂

[adobbing] 18/11/2021 00:14

Give it up mate, you’re embarrassing yourself.

You’re linked Peach Coffer report was dated 15/11/21 the day before RTN updated by RNS!

[adobbing] 18/11/2021 00:11

It’s incredible isn’t it.

You’d think he would want to maintain some shred of dignity and stop digging himself a bigger hole.

He thought he could post lies unchallenged to mislead others on here.
All under the delusion that his opinion was valued😂

[john09] 17/11/2021 23:59

Did he read the trading statement ? Does he know its fact and bang up to date 👋🤣
