About Us:

Public House Group is a collection of pubs and restaurants across London and the Cotswolds. Our journey began with The Pelican, setting the tone for everything that followed. Each of our venues champions the very best of the UK, from responsibly sourced meats and seasonal vegetables to a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits.
