Says the lease further expands the groups portfolio to seven premium pubs with a total of 60 rooms. Notes demand for Barkby pubs has been substantial since national lockdown eased in the UK.
Executive Chair Charles Dickson says: "I am pleased to report that recent trading within Barkby Pubs has been very strong since the end of national lockdown.
