Pub Purchase builds Cotswolds presence for Brakspear

December 21, 2015

Pub operator and brewer Brakspear is building its presence in the Cotswolds with the purchase of the Frogmill Inn in Andoversford near Cheltenham.

The Frogmill Inn is a characterful 16th century building comprising pub and restaurant areas, 28 bedrooms and two function rooms catering for both weddings and corporate events. It is set in extensive grounds and sited next to a golf course.

Tom Davies, Brakspear chief executive, said, “We’re delighted to have acquired the Frogmill Inn. It is a great pub in a great location and bolsters our presence in the Cotswolds, where we have bought two other pubs this year. We’re looking forward to working with the Frogmill’s lessees, Wheelers of St James, to maximise the site’s potential.”

In addition to the Frogmill Inn, Brakspear’s Cotswolds pubs include the Church Street Townhouse in Stratford-on-Avon and the George Hotel in Shipston-on-Stour, both purchased earlier this year, as well as the Porch House in Stow-on-the-Wold, acquired in 2013 and named recently as AA Pub of the Year 2015-16, and the Five Alls in Filkins, leased to award-winning chef Sebastian Snow.
