Chef & Brewer pub and restaurant services

Chef & Brewer is a well-known British brand of pub-restaurants that specializes in a traditional country pub atmosphere combined with high-quality dining. The brand focuses on offering seasonal menus and a wide selection of cask ales, operating primarily in the United Kingdom.

Originally established as part of the Grand Metropolitan group and later becoming a core brand under Scottish & Newcastle, Chef & Brewer has seen several ownership changes over the decades. It has historically represented a upscale segment of the British pub market, emphasizing the heritage of each individual pub location while maintaining brand consistency in service and food quality.

Currently, the brand is owned and operated by Greene King, one of the UK’s largest pub retailers and brewers. In 2019, Greene King was acquired by CK Asset Holdings, a multinational conglomerate based in Hong Kong. Consequently, while Chef & Brewer operates with a distinct British identity and sources its products locally, its ultimate parent company is a major international investment firm.
