Completion of acquisition of The Wellington Arms

 

Coppa Collective plc, a premium, multi-format hospitality group, announces that, further to its announcements of 6 March 2026 and 24 March 2026, it has now completed the acquisition of The Wellington Arms (Hampshire) following receipt of landlord consent in connection with the lease assignment process.

 

Accordingly, the acquisition from Grosvenor Pubs and Inns of the four sites originally announced on 6 March 2026 is now complete.

 

The four acquired sites, which form The Linwood Collection and will continue to trade under their existing names and identities, are:

 

·     

Wild Thyme & Honey (Cotswolds)

·     

The Hare & Hounds (Berkshire)

·     

The Stag on the River (Surrey)

·     

The Wellington Arms (Hampshire)

 

As previously announced, the Group has also agreed terms to potentially acquire The Queen's Head (Surrey). That site remains subject to the ongoing asset of community value process and cannot exchange until the relevant statutory notification and moratorium period has expired. The Company will provide a further update in due course.

 

Further detail on the Acquisition is set out in the Company's RNS dated 6 March 2026.
