Leading pub company Punch Pubs & Co has added to its growing portfolio with the acquisition of the Old Crow pub in Henbury, Bristol.

The traditional pub, which is well-known for its friendly atmosphere, live sport and entertainment, will join Punch’s Unity Social business unit and will benefit from a significant investment later this year.

Speaking about the acquisition, Punch Pubs & Co Head of Acquisitions, Andrew Cannons, commented: “We’re thrilled to welcome another high-quality pub into our Punch family. This is a fantastic pub with strong local roots and a wealth of opportunities. I do not doubt that with Punch’s industry-leading support and training, The Kings Head will continue to thrive for many years to come.”

Known as a welcoming hub for everyone who walks through the door, the pub features an open-plan bar, a small garden area and live sports. It frequently hosts events like live music, karaoke and weekly quizzes – something that will continue under its new chapter.

Punch Pubs Operations Manager Rachael Henry added: “I’m really excited about the future of the Old Crow. We will be making a significant investment in the coming weeks, creating a high-energy venue which will become one of Bristol’s leading social pubs”

Punch is continually on the lookout for more quality acquisitions, including packages and single-site opportunities that fit well with its modern and progressive vision and growth plans.
