Working with us

We have an estate of nearly 70 pubs across our home county, Lincolnshire, as well as Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Humberside and Yorkshire.

The Bateman family has been brewing beer in Wainfleet since 1874 and over the years has carefully built an estate of quality pubs and a reputation for being fair and caring people to work with. The pubs vary from busy town houses to delightful country inns; from one-bar community pubs to pubs with letting rooms and extensive food operations.

The success of each of these tenanted pubs relies on the expertise, professionalism and hard work of the individual tenant and it is Batemans aim to support each and everyone of them in maximising the business potential for their pub. The tenanted pub division is called 'Profit Partnership' and the structure and ethos creates a fair, sound relationship between landlord and tenant, whilst providing the best possible tailor made support package in the industry.

As a tenant of a Batemans pub you are very definitely a name rather than a number. You will know, and be on first name terms with all of the staff at the Brewery who will also know you and your family. This personable approach is an integral part of how Batemans operates.

Our Features & Benefits. Available to download here

Our standard agreement does not have a rent review clause and so you can be relaxed when taking a pub with Batemans, that you will not be rewarded for your hard work and endeavour with a significant rent increase! Rents are transparent and are agreed at the commencement of the tenancy.

With no manager looking after more than 35 pubs (as low as any company in the UK), a minuted regular visit, marketing support tailor made to your business, a mentoring service for those new to the trade, legislation and regulations support, training, a competitive discount scheme, an accredited Code of Practice, a track record of successful capital investment, subsidised purchasing schemes and much more – we believe our support package is unrivalled.

We offer creative tenancy agreements that reward endeavour - we have five types of tenancy agreement, depending on the pub and the qualities, experience and financial status of the prospective tenant. These agreements are designed to reward and appeal to first time publicans, publicans with small financial resources, publicans who might alternatively be looking for the financial benefits offered by assignable leases and publicans with significant capital which they wish to invest and might otherwise be looking at free houses. We can meet all of these prospective publicans’ aspirations without the magnitude of risk often associated with leases and freehold properties. We commit to discussing the most suitable tenancy agreement with tenants at interview. It should be noted that all agreements are not available in every case.
 

In 2010 we were honoured to be judged as the Publican's Regional Brewer of the Year.

In 2009 we were honoured to be judged as the Publican's Tenanted/Leased Pub Company of the Year (20 – 199 outlets).
