Location: Coopers, Peterborough
Investment: £20,000
Date Established: 2011
Details: A large, single bar operation that was completely refurbished when Coopers opened as a Meet & Eat franchise in 2011. The trading area is divided, providing space for eating, drinking and dining. There’s a commercial kitchen that’s really well equipped. The pub also has a Manager’s office. Outside is an extended drinking space and smoking solution. Free car parking is next to the building and is shared with local shops.
Location: Farmers Boy, Maidenhead, Berkshire
Investment: £35,000
Date Established: 2011
Details: The Farmers Boy was set up as one of our first Meet & Eat franchise pubs and has been open for just over 6 months so we can provide full trading figures. When it opened, the pub made a big impact on nearby residential customers and continues to be the most popular in the area. Meet & Eat provides a regular programme of events and live music that keeps customers interested and ensures that they keep coming back for more! But there’s still room to develop the business – with food sales making only about 10% of trade, the pub has plenty of potential to grow trade when you take over the operation.
Location: Jenny Wren, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Investment: £35,000
Details: Meet & Eat franchise pubs are designed to smash the local competition by giving you a completely refurbished pub with entertainment systems and a weekly programme of events. The Jenny Wren is in a perfect location to make the most of this investment, it’s close to a local housing estate, a college and an industrial estate and provides something for everybody. Adults use the pub in the evening and mothers and children during weekdays. Family and sporting attractions pull in even more customers at weekends. We’re recruiting sports teams now so that the pub really cements its reputation at the heart of the local community.
Location: Post Boy, Ferryhill, County Durham
Investment: £20,000
Details: Set in a mainly blue collar area, the Post Boy really stands out from the crowd. This Meet & Eat Franchise is a well-established, popular business that benefits from having considerable levels of investment, creating a pub that’s perfect for the area. Customers are mostly working adults who love the mixture of sports and entertainment on offer, including Sky TV, live music, karaoke and discos. All this makes for a really great pub, loved by the local residents. And there’s room for even more growth – you could increase trade by developing food sales, which is currently around 20% of turnover.
