When we opened our first pub – the Mash Tun in 1996 – it was like nothing Brighton had seen before. Ground-breaking enough to ... be controversial, it has since become the blueprint in Brighton, and the building block for a group of independent pubs that has grown to 56 in number across that city and London. Laine pubs are amazing places to be – people invest in them emotionally, making them their ‘third places’ – a second home, a place to meet, discuss ideas, hatch plans or catch up. So its a real honour to be there with them, helping them feel a part of the place. The individuals, the conversations, the ideas – no day is ever the same when you’re in a Laine establishment. That’s why we run pubs. There’s nowhere else we’d rather be. Many of our pubs have a focus on the experience, whether that is a circus show, VR gaming, vegan food, 10 screens of interesting sport, live music or immersive games. Yes, we’ll give you the perfect serve, but great drinks are just the start. read more
