Brewery buys four pubs

Boat and Horses

BREWERY, pub and restaurant operator JW Lees has completed the purchase of four pubs from Greene King.

The firm has acquired The Bear's Paw in Chester, The Crown in Lymm, The Frog and Railway in Heaton Mersey and The Vale Royal Abbey Arms in Delamere.

The purchase follows JW Lees's strategy of growing its pub estate in the north west and the pubs will now be integrated into the Middleton Junction business as well as benefitting from capital investment. JW Lees was advised by Noel Moffitt of Christie & Co and Matthew O'Brien of Brabners.
