Leading pub company Punch Pubs & Co has added to its growing portfolio with the acquisition of The Millbridge pub in Plymouth.
The beloved pub, which sits at the heart of the Stoke community, will join Punch’s leased and tenanted estate.
Following the success of Jerry Eunson and the team over the past 38 years, new publicans will step in to oversee the running of the Millbridge and enable the pub to continue thriving as it embarks on an exciting new chapter.
Speaking about the acquisition, Punch Pubs & Co Head of Acquisitions Andrew Cannons said: “I am delighted to welcome the Millbridge pub into the Punch family. With a planned investment to come in the near future, I am excited about the pub’s future and do not doubt that it will continue to flourish under new leadership.”
The traditional-style pub is situated in the lively suburb of Stoke, boasting a rich history and excellent transport links. It is renowned locally for hosting live music acts and has an excellent reputation for showcasing local talent.
Punch Pubs & Co Operations Manager Dominic Gooder added: “I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jerry and the team for their incredible leadership over the past four decades. The Millbridge is a much-loved pub, and we’re excited to build on its legacy. We’re delighted to welcome our new Publican, Charlie Ringham, who knows the pub inside out as a long-time guest and former Assistant Manager. Charlie’s passion and experience will help ensure the Millbridge remains a vibrant community hub for years to come.”
Punch is committed to expanding its estate through more high-quality acquisitions, including packages and single-site opportunities that align with its goal to become the five star pub company.
