("Barkby" or the "Company")
New lease for The Ebrington Arms, Ebrington, Gloucestershire
The Barkby Group PLC, the diversified business group, is pleased
to announce that Barkby Hospitality has entered into a new six year
leasehold agreement for The Ebrington Arms, in Ebrington,
Gloucestershire.
The Ebrington Arms is a 17th century village pub with five
luxury rooms. It holds 2 AA Rosettes and has been rated as The
Times' 'number one UK village pub', while the Daily Telegraph rated
the pub as the best 'UK Pub for Food'.
The Ebrington Arms lease is a further expansion of the Group's
portfolio of high-quality pubs with accommodation that is taking
advantage of the trend away from branded pubs towards premium pubs
that serve local produce. Barkby Pubs' portfolio now consists of
seven premises with a total of 60 rooms.
Charles Dickson, Executive Chairman of Barkby Group Plc,
commented:
"I am delighted to add The Ebrington Arms to our exceptional
portfolio of award winning pubs with accommodation. The pub offers
customers a high-class drinking, dining and sleeping experience, as
demonstrated by its host of 'best of' awards, and I very much
welcome them into the Barkby Group.
"I am pleased to report that recent trading within Barkby Pubs
has been very strong since the end of national lockdown. The
division is benefitting from staycations due to restricted
international travel and a pent up demand for hospitality, based on
current bookings we expect this trend to continue throughout the
summer."
