Unique Pub Co is to buy the Wishing Well chain of Irish pubs from InnSpired. It is expected to pay in the region of £7m for the nine strong chain, which operates mainly within the M25. The plan is to lease the pubs, currently all managed, to the chain's original entrepreneur owner, Terry O'Sullivan.

Unique is separately offering the lease on the Bohemia bar, a major destination venue in Bristol's Whiteladies Road.
