History

Following the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness, to form Diageo in 1991, Chef & Brewer pubs were bought by Scottish & Newcastle in 1993 in a part cash, part debentures deal of £708 million. In 2003, Scottish & Newcastle auctioned off the Chef & Brewer chain, which was acquired by the Spirit Group. In 2005 the Spirit Group was acquired by Punch Taverns [1].

The pubs are known for their family friendly atmosphere and have recently featured in Tesco Clubcard promotions. [2]
