Adnams, the Suffolk-based brewer and pub operator, has placed nine pubs on the market after a review of its 80-strong estate. The pubs are spread across Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. Rupert Farquharson, director of retail at Adnams, said: “Our strategy at Adnams is to develop a pub estate that reflects the underlying values of the Adnams brand. “The small number of pubs we are putting on the market will be ideal for other pub operators.” Christie & Co is handling the sale of the nine pubs on behalf of Adnams.
