Two new Blubeckers restaurants signed

Blubeckers, part of The Restaurant Group, have purchased two new sites in the home-counties.

These are the first new Blubeckers sites since TRG bought the company last year.

The White Hart in Cadnam, Hampshire, and the Greyhound in Besselsleigh, Oxfordshire, are described as traditional country pubs and will be re-branded and re-opened shortly as Blubeckers.

Blubeckers now has 19 restaurants – 14 of which operate under the Blubeckers brand and five as Edwinns.

TRG purchased Blubeckers in June 2005 in a £27m deal. They also own Garfunkel’s, Frankie & Benny’s and Chiquitos.
