Brewer and retailer Black Country Ales has acquired a further pub in Staffordshire, The Bitter Suite in the city of Lichfield. The pub in Upper John Street becomes the company’s 53rd site.
The pub, which closed in January, is undergoing a refurbishment and is expected to reopen in the summer. Black Country Ales, which was founded in 1999 by Angus McMeeking, said the pub will be “an excellent addition to our group”.
The company’s other Staffordshire pubs include The Bird In Hand in Stafford and The Horse and Jockey in the village of Penkridge. Richard Tole, of WTS Property Consultants, acted on behalf of Black Country Ales on the Lichfield deal.
