At Stange & Co. our aim is to run real pubs, that means wholesome fresh, homemade food, top quality cask ales, decent wines and cosy modern rooms, all offered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, creating great places to meet and chat or perhaps spend a relaxing night or two...what a great pub is all about.
The majority of our pubs are food led, each with a fantastically talented head chef and team producing some of the finest pub food in the area. We want our pubs to be a destination for dining and our visitors to come from near and far to enjoy a memorable experience that they wish to relive time and time again.
Stange & Co. is a fourth-generation family run company operating quality pubs and inns for over thirty years. Some of our sites are over 100 years old yet hold onto their original appeal and charm, with the necessary upgrade and tweak here and there.
Whilst pubs are our business, it’s our people that make these old buildings into great pubs.
Great people are at the heart of everything we do, we give our teams plenty of say on how things are done in our sites, making sure they stay unique, different and a little quirky. What this also ensures is a genuine sense of ownership of the business which leads to genuine hospitality being experienced by our customers.
A company driven by a passion for traditional pubs, great people, and authentic charm.
We’re not out to reinvent the wheel, Michelin stars aren’t really our thing and we’re not aiming to have 500 pubs in five years’ time, what we to achieve is a group of cracking character pubs run by a passionate team providing quality food, drink and hospitality, and adding a pub or two as we go. And if we can all have a little fun, a pint or G&T along the way, so much the better.
Practise makes perfect as they say.
We've got a quirky collection of pubs, some dating back to as early as the 18th Century. Acquired over a number of years, we can definitely say it was a very eclectic collection in the early days, however over a number of years and with a lot of hard work has gradually evolved into a quality group of local community pubs (well we think so anyway!).
We like to invest in the future of our company in more ways than one.
Our team is our greatest asset, and we are committed to investing in their growth and development. We prioritise promoting from within whenever possible, encouraging our staff to challenge themselves, advance their skills, and reach their full potential.
At the same time, the unique character of our historic buildings requires ongoing reinvestment of both time and resources to preserve their charm and maintain the high standards we hold ourselves to.
