Young & Co’s Brewery has agreed to acquire Cubitt House London Pubs in a deal reportedly worth around £30 million, marking a significant expansion of the pub group’s portfolio.
The acquisition, announced to shareholders on Wednesday, covers eight established gastropubs and pubs with rooms, including The Barley Mow (Mayfair), The Builders Arms (Chelsea), The Coach Makers Arms (Marylebone), The Grazing Goat (Marylebone), The Orange (Belgravia), The Princess Royal (Notting Hill), The Thomas Cubitt (Belgravia), and The Alfred Tennyson (Belgravia). A ninth pub in Belgravia, currently under development, is also included in the deal.
Young’s CEO said the move aligns with the company’s strategy to selectively grow its London portfolio, highlighting the strong culture and reputation across the Cubitt House group.
Cubitt House, led by Sam and Georgie Pearman with Ben Tish as chef director, has seen notable growth in recent years. Young’s confirmed the acquisition will be funded through existing banking facilities and is expected to be finalised by 22 April.
The purchase signals Young’s commitment to premium London venues, building on its reputation for blending historic charm with contemporary hospitality.
Simon Dodd, chief executive of Young’s, said: “We are delighted to be adding this collection of iconic pubs and pubs with rooms to the Young’s estate.
“Located in some of London’s most affluent neighbourhoods, these premium sites align perfectly with our strategy to selectively expand our business.”
