Marston’s plc is a United Kingdom-based hospitality company that operates and manages pubs across England and Wales. Its business is focused primarily on managed, tenanted and franchised pubs, with sites serving food and beverages in community, urban and destination locations.
The company operates a range of pub formats and brands, including family-oriented, value-focused and premium venues, as well as pubs with rooms. Its portfolio includes brands such as Hungry Horse, Two for One, Marston’s Inns and Premium Country Pubs. The company’s pubs offer meals, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, entertainment and, at selected locations, accommodation.
Marston’s traces its heritage to the 19th century and was formerly associated with brewing as well as pub operations. In 2020, it entered into a joint venture with Carlsberg, combining its brewing activities with Carlsberg UK’s operations under the Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company name. Marston’s subsequently focused on its pub estate and completed the sale of its remaining interest in the brewing joint venture to Carlsberg in 2024.
Marston’s serves customers primarily in the United Kingdom. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Justin Platt, who joined the business in 2023 and became CEO in 2024.
