    Fair point.I took the 703 figure in this article and then assumed that they would also complete the Revolutions deal taking them to 771.I'll keep an eye on developments,but they do seem to be hoovering up pubs and bars at quite a rate.

    1. Ei Group (formerly Enterprise ) -- 5000 pubs approx
    2. Greene King -- 3000
    3 Heineken ( Star ) -- 3000
    4. Mitchell & Butler -- 1800
    5.Marstons -- 1700
    6 Patron (ex Punch) -- 1300
    7.Wetherspoons -- 900
    8. Stonegate -- 800 (assuming Revolutions Bars deal closes )
    9. Admiral -- 800

    I make that a total of 18,300 pubs,37% of the market.

    Is anyone aware of something I've missed ,or gross inaccuracy in these figures ?
    From 'London Drinker' (August/September 2017):

    "M&B have sold 73 pubs - 65 freeholds and eight leaseholds - to a property investment group called Aprirose for £40 million. According to a report in the Times, these will form a new chain called Milton Pubs and Taverns along with 35 sites they already own. This makes Aprirose, who I admit I had never heard of, the 11th largest pub group in the country."

    However, the "11th largest pub group in the country" claim must be way out.

    It seems to me the second division of pub ownership groups have less than 500 pubs,probably due to 2016 legislation for groups larger than this.Thanks for contributions from Dave M and Aqualung.


    Trust Inns -- 500
    Fullers -- 380
    Shepherd Neame -- 350
    Robinsons --280
    Thwaites -- 275
    Brains -- 270
    Youngs -- 270
    Wadworth --240
    Charles Wells -- 200
    Sam Smiths -- 200


    Again apologies if I have missed some obvious names.

    Shepherd Neame and Thwaites are in this category. Hal & Woodhouse) have only 190, I would have guessed over 200.
    Even in early CAMRA days Sheps were larger than the other Southern independents but now they are roughly the same as Fullers. Fullers however now have some big pubs.

    Of course it is worth noting that the relatively new pub code has stricter rules for pubcos with over 500 tenants.

    So for example Trust Inns appear to have an estate of between 4-500 and I sense that they are happy to stay around that level.
