The Chef & Brewer collection is a collection of over 140 licensed pub restaurants in the United Kingdom, owned by Greene King. They provide more upmarket pub food, specials and cask ales and a number of them have recently been re-furbished.
History[edit]
Grand Metropolitan, which later formed part of Diageo, sold the estate that became Chef & Brewer pubs to Scottish & Newcastle in 1993 in a part cash, part debentures deal of £708 million.[1] In 2003, Scottish & Newcastle auctioned off the Chef & Brewer chain, which was acquired by the Spirit Group. In 2005 the Spirit Group was acquired by Punch Taverns.[2] In 2011 the Chef & Brewer chain became part of Spirit Pub Company plc following its demerger from Punch Taverns. The Spirit Pub Company plc was acquired by Greene King in June 2015.[3]
The pubs are known for their family friendly atmosphere[citation needed] and have recently featured in Tesco Clubcard promotions.[4]
