In the week that it set the record for the world’s biggest beer tasting, Brewhouse & Kitchen has been placed 19th in the Sunday Times’ Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 listing.

Co-founder, Kris Gumbrell, said: “It is both humbling and amazing to be placed 19th in the Sunday Times’ Annual Fast Track 100 awards. This week has been one of the most important weeks in Brewhouse & Kitchen’s history, marking a historic landmark for us.

“We now have a Guinness world record and have announced our intention to open the very first Brewhouse & Kitchen hotel in 2019. In a week filled with milestones and so much success, Brewhouse & Kitchen have cemented their place in the UK pub industry.”

Kris added: “As a fast-growing pub group, we are delighted to have been given such recognition by the Sunday Times’ Fast Track 100. In terms of a struggling industry, this growth is quite exceptional, and our annual sales have risen over 103%.

“It is so rewarding to see this — as a fast-growing independent business, myself and the rest of the team are thrilled to be ending 2018 on such a high.”
