Love pubs, people and beer?

So do we! Running a pub with Everards means calling the shots in your own business – with a whole team behind you when it counts.

Why choose to run a pub with Everards?

We’re an independent, family-run business with more than 170 years of brewing and pub experience and we’re just as passionate today as we were back in 1849. Led by our sixth-generation Chairman, Julian Everard, we continue to invest in the future of beer and pubs, with over £3 million invested last year alone.

Across the Midlands, we have 140+ pubs, each one unique and at the heart of its community. Every five years we give our pubs a fresh new look to help them stay inviting, relevant and thriving. When you run a pub in Leicestershire with us or in one of the other 14 counties in which we operate, you’ll have the freedom to run your business your way, because we know great pubs are built by great people with local passion and personality.

Our pubs are run as independent businesses under a three-year tenancy agreement protected by the Landlord & Tenant Act, giving you real security for your business and future. Looking to run a pub with no experience? Our new Nebula agreements make it easier than ever for more people to take their first step into running a pub.
