Marston’s PLC is a British pub operator and brewer with a network of over 1,200 establishments across England, Wales and Scotland. The company owns, manages and franchises pubs, inns and hotels, offering casual dining, traditional pub fare and lodging services. Marston’s also supplies beer and beverages to both its own sites and third-party outlets through a dedicated wholesale division.
Founded in 1834 by John Marston in the historic brewing centre of Burton-upon-Trent, the business grew steadily through acquisitions and organic expansion. In 2007, the company rebranded as Marston’s PLC to reflect its broader focus on hospitality and retail operations beyond its original brewery roots.
Marston’s portfolio includes community pubs, branded restaurants and boutique hotels aimed at leisure and business travellers. The company has developed a range of proprietary beer brands—such as Pedigree and Lancaster Bomber—produced in partnership with Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company, a joint venture that leverages Burton-upon-Trent’s brewing heritage.
Headquartered in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, Marston’s is governed by a board of directors with extensive experience in the hospitality and brewing industries. The company continues to pursue strategic growth through site refurbishments, menu innovation and selective acquisitions across the UK.
