Our Divisions
Marston's Inns and Taverns
Marston's Inns and Taverns has transformed itself, over the past few years, from a wet-led, community-based business into the premier league pub restaurant operator you see today. Approximately 70% of combined sales are now generated from the desire to enjoy a value driven dining experience, with greater frequency.
Contributing factors to this dramatic evolution are: the disciplined pursuit of the 'F-Plan' - food, families, females, forty/fifty somethings; the outperformance of the new build programme; the recruitment, development and retention of top quality people.
Marston's Pub Company
Marston's Pub Company operates both tenanted and leased pubs. Our income is derived from the sale of beers, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks to the tenants and lessees of our pubs, from rent and gaming machines. Drink, food and gaming machine turnover from over 100 Retail Agreements has started to make an important contribution to income.
We seek to attract and retain the best licensees by offering a wide range of innovative agreements, a flexible approach to the sharing of risk and reward and by building strong business relationships with them. We also provide training, advice and value adding business solutions through our Business Development Managers, MyMarston's Online and our Customer Service Team.
