For almost 250 years, Hall & Woodhouse has been helping great publicans create thriving pubs at the heart of their communities. We combine exceptional pubs, expert support and genuine partnership approach to give our Business Partners the best opportunity to succeed.
First pub or your fifth, you’re joining a business that’s invested in you from day one.
Most pub tenancies work like a traditional landlord-tenant relationship – you rent the building, then you’re on your own. We do things differently.
When you join Hall & Woodhouse, you become a Business Partner, not just a tenant. It’s a reflection of how we actually work together: we bring the property, the supply chain, and operational backing; you bring the local knowledge and the drive to make your pub thrive. It’s a joint effort, not a distant arrangement.
And that support is flexible – as much or as little as you need, whenever you need it.
We don’t do average. Our estate is full of characterful, high-quality pubs in some of the South’s most sought-after towns, villages and destinations – from proper traditional community locals to premium food-led sites. Every single one is chosen to give you the strongest possible foundations for success.
You will benefit from:
We don’t just invest in pubs – we invest in the people who run them.
Every year, we invest around £3 million across our Business Partner estate, helping keep our pubs attractive, competitive and ready for the future.
When your pub succeeds, we succeed too.
Independent since 1777. Pubs at the heart of their communities then, and now.
Through our Community Chest and other charitable work, we keep investing in the local causes that matter to the towns and villages our pubs serve. Last year Hall & Woodhouse generated almost £1million pounds in charitable contributions.
We’ve also been named one of the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work for three years running – proof that the values behind our partnerships aren’t just words on a page, they shape every partnership we build.
We’re an independent brewer, and we’re proud of it. Our award-winning Badger & Outland Beers are exclusive to us – which means your guests get something they can’t get anywhere else, and your business gets the margins to match.
It’s just one more way we help our Business Partners maximise profitability.
