Nest Pubs is the second pub franchise concept from Greene King Pub Partners. These are are wet-led pubs, predominantly located on busy high streets and in communities.

To transform it, The Red Lion received a £375,000 investment from Greene King.

The pub will be operated by franchisee Ollie Roberts, who was previously running the pub as its general manager.

“As a wet-led pub concept with a very compelling, but simple to deliver food offer, we believe Nest Pubs has a lot of potential,” said Dan Robinson, managing director of Greene King Pub Partners.

“We’ll continue to grow the concept this year, alongside Hive Pubs and supporting our core leased and tenanted partners.”
