Red Oak Taverns has completed a further pub acquisition, The Crown in Romeland, Waltham Abbey from brewer, McMullen’s. This is the fourth single site acquisition this year for Red Oak.

Speaking about the acquisition, property director for Red Oak Taverns, Graeme Bunn said, “The Crown is located in the centre of Waltham Abbey and is a traditional pub serving the local community. We are delighted that McMullen’s chose to work with us in selling one of their assets”.

Plans are in place to invest in improvements at the pub. It is operated by new tenant, Nancy Tobias, she said, “I’m looking forward to creating a family friendly community pub with a new food menu and welcoming everyone back”.

The sale was handled by Fleurets. Elysia Wilson-Gunn, Senior Associate of Fleurets commented, “Delighted to have been instructed by McMullen’s we have sold The Crown Public house to Red Oak Taverns knowing it will be in capable hands and continue to operate successfully.”
