Pubs & Pub Companies

At Harrison Drury we have a team of advisors with particular experience of supporting clients in the pub trade, from those who are new to the trade and are taking on their first tenanted property right through to large regional breweries with significant property portfolios who have heritages dating back centuries.

Our experience allows us to understand pub businesses, the market they operate in, the challenges they face and the opportunities available to them.  In turn, that ensures that our advisors can speak your language and that we are able to provide more informed advice, ultimately meaning we achieve better results.

Our advisors cover a broad range of matters, from employment contracts tailored to roles like live-in managers, through to amendments to premises licences, through to complex tenancy agreements with minimum purchase obligations and associated discounting.  There is little that we have not seen before.

We are also supporters of the trade, regular attendees at industry events and regular contributors to trade press.
