Spirit Pub Company has reached the milestone of its 100th Flaming Grill site with a £96,000 investment to transform the Nags Head in Mickleover, Derby.

The company has said it plans to grow to between 250 and 275 Flaming Grills over time.

Sally Whittaker, brand director for Flaming Grill, said: “Flaming Grill is fast becoming one of the UK’s most popular pub brands. With our commitment to great value flame grilled foods, we’re in a perfect position to capitalise on current trends, such as the rise of food challenges, as the result of programmes like Man V. Food. Our challenge dishes are becoming ever more popular with our guests who like to team up and make an event of it when taking on one of our challenges.

“We’ve got a great year planned and we’re in a fantastic position to make the most of this summer and continue to grow the brand – I’m sure we’ll be celebrating our 200th milestone in no time at all.”
