List of UK Pub Chains and Pub Brands

A pub chain is a group of pubs or bars with a brand image.

Pubs within a chain are tied houses and can, generally, only sell products which the chain owner sanctions. The brand owner, often called a pubco, may be one company, or there may be multiple financiers and, the chain, itself, may be a division within a larger company, or a single operation.

Examples include Chef & Brewer, Wetherspoons, Walkabout, Taylor Walker Pubs and All Bar One. Pubs in the chain are typically branded with the same name, however the former “Firkin” pubs tended to be variations on a theme including the word Firkin in the title.

Wetherspoons pubs have individual names, with the Wetherspoons brand prominently displayed.
