Who Owns the Uplands?

[SweetShopDan]

Does anyone know who owns the Uplands pub?

[SeanMacGabhann]

What makes this question interesting is the person asking it. . I think its a smaller brewery dan. Other than that i dont know. Sorry. But i shall keep an eye on this thread

[SweetShopDan]

Thanks Sean

What makes this question interesting is the person asking it.

Care to share why?

I believe it is owned by Barter Inns - at least that's what www.barterinns.co.uk claims.

Ted Max, I may well be wrong about this but;

Perhaps SeanMacG finds it interesting that SweetShopDan is asking such a question because he -SweetShopDan - works for/runs a small, locally-based marketing company. Perhaps this is the beginning of his field work for a new client in an attempt to raise the profile of said establishment (The Uplands) or indeed the parent company(Barter Inns?) ?

Incidentally and according to their website, Barter Inns also owns the very popular (at least on this forum) 'The Castle' on Crystal Palace Road and 'The Hope' in Peckham.

Barter Inns also own the Queen Elizabeth in Walworth Road.

So they're high end then.

Thanks, Horsebox.

I would wager that Sean's first thought was that SSD was acting on behalf of someone interested in buying or using the space, perhaps to turn it into or host a Steakhouse, or sushi restaurant.

Ted - apologies for any tardiness in my reply...

The reason I was interested in Dan's post was I got to know him through his connection with GutRocking and he had many ideas about spaces for comedy/music/performance and wondered if this was what he was angling after. Plus I was on my phone at the time so typing was a real faff.

Dan also plays a mean game of rounders fact fans

[Ted Max]

Thanks, Sean. Performance space was my other thought.

[Jason]

SSD also used to sport a beard and his nickname was 'the bear'.

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Performance space" = Table dancing? Got to be.

[SweetShopDan]

Thanks Jason!

I am looking to get my hands on a licensed establishment in the areas, just doing some research into flagging boozers and seeing who owns them, thanks for all the input I am going to make approach to Barter Inns, however have been told he is not in the market to off load at the moment.

Cheers

SSD also makes a mean cup of tea

[Keef]

Don't think The Uplands is exactly flagging at the moment. I went in to meet a pal one day last week at about 4 and there were a fair few people in there.

SSD - Have you considered the CPT? I'm not sure that it fits your 'flagging boozer' criteria though as Punch Taverns appear to be looking for pretty hefty ingoing.
