ROBINSONS FAMILY BREWERY GROWS & INVESTS IN INDIVIDUAL INNS COLLECTION
Following their acquisition of the Individual Inns businesses in 2019, family-run brewers Robinsons, based in Stockport, has used the last 18 months to grow and invest in the six pubs they acquired. The Mason Arms, Strawberry Bank; The Wheatsheaf, Brigsteer; The Spread Eagle, Sawley; The Tempest, Elslack; The Fountain Inn, Linton; and Wheatley Arms, Ben Rhydding have been joined by the Queens Head, Troutbeck and the Queens Head in Hawkshead.
Robinsons have so far renovated the bedrooms at the Masons Arms and Wheatley Arms, with further bedroom improvements planned at the Tempest, which will be followed by the pub and function facilities. In addition to this, the brewery has invested at the Wheatsheaf, improving kitchen facilities and refurbishing the pub. The Spread Eagle has benefited from an external makeover, ensuring the pub looks picture perfect for the many weddings that have been booked at the pub over the next 2 years.
The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank
William Robinson, Managing Director at Robinsons Brewery explains: “Despite the impact of the pandemic, the £1m investment thus far is consistent to how we have invested for the long-term in our pubs. We knew we acquired some fantastic businesses and have used the recent closure periods to good effect to further improve them and add to our customers experience.”
The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank
Simon Taylor, Business Development Manager said: “With the Masons, we wanted to build on the incredible reputation of this iconic Inn. The bedrooms now have a real sense of occasion and an added luxury to further enhance your stay in this beautiful and scenic location.
The Wheatsheaf has also benefited from a full redecoration, and a kitchen extension with new equipment, to enable the kitchen to meet the demands of the pub. This hidden gem now offers a wider range of freshly cooked food in a lovely Lakeland inn with local provenance.
The Wheatsheaf, Brigsteer
The Individual Inns pubs are all iconic, with lots of rich history, so we have retained their uniqueness whilst sympathetically improving their facilities. Further refurbishments are planned at the Tempest over the next couple of years.”
