A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top‑notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. Ye Olde Griffin Hotel is located in the middle of High Street in March and is perfect for those looking to stay centrally in the area. We are accessible by car, train, and bus, with March train station just a 15‑minute walk from the hotel.
