Pub Leisure, the Wiltshire-based group, has taken on its fifth pub and has a further two openings lined up for the next year.
The group, led by Shane O’Rourke-Smith, has taken on the Artisan in Frome, Somerset – its first pub outside its home county.
The pub is due to re-open in the autumn after a full refurbishment.
MCA understands the group also plans to open a second pub in the Wiltshire town of Trowbridge in March next year and also has a site in Bristol lined up.
