New Works Pub Company, the multiple pub operator, has secured a further site with Punch Taverns, the Prince of Wales in Ross-on-Wye, which will open next week.

The pub will become the group’s ninth site, after it took on the Navigation in Stoke Prior earlier this year. The Prince of Wales will re-open on 26 June.

The group, which is led by industry veteran Martyn Hathaway, operates a handful of Punch sites and has developed a food offering at the price-points of £2, £4, £6 and £8.
