Brucan Pubs is preparing for a period of fast-paced expansion, with a 'strong pipeline' of openings planned over the next 18 months. The group, which bills itself as 'breathing new life into tired old pubs and restoring the hearts of local communities', has recently secured its third acquisition, which is set to open next month. The Greyhound in Finchampstead, West Berkshire, will launch on 20 August with a menu of 'hyper-seasonal' specials, and plenty of British game, meat and fish. A few weeks later the team will also open Goswell & Bird’s, a traditional village store and daytime café sat alongside the pub that will focus on British seasonal produce, championing small producers and regenerative farming.
