Upham Inns

The Upham Group is the south of England’s fastest growing pub company. We own a growing family of pubs and inns across Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex and Wiltshire with plans to increase the portfolio. We choose pubs with character and charm, predominantly in country locations, that have suffered from a lack of investment and care. We then improve, reinvigorate and upgrade them to bring them to life in a way that locals and visitors alike really appreciate. This helps us to fulfil their true potential through offering superb food, drink and, in most cases, accommodation as well as creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere through our superb staff. Crucially, each pub has its own particular personality, charm and character, which is what attracted us to them in the first place. Have a look at our pubs to see the results of our investment and the difference Upham is making. We plan to continue to grow our portfolio of superb pubs and inns across the south of England. If you want to join our team, manage one of our pubs or know of a pub you think could do with the Upham touch and our careful investment then please contact us.
