Our story
Independent spirit. Shared by everyone.
Our story began with a search for a pub we could run our own way. A place for independent British producers, cracking food, great entertainment and the people to bring it all to life.
That spirit now lives in four very different pubs across the South West. Each has a character of its own. All share the same warm welcome.

The Scarlett collection
Four pubs.
A world of character.
City afternoons, neighbourhood nights and weekends away.
Find the pub that feels like you.
Bristol · King Street
The Volley
Bristol, by the pint.
A King Street original, built in 1673. Independent beer, a lively street and a new discovery every visit.
The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer
Old walls. An open mind.
Across from the Bristol Old Vic, The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer has been part of King Street for centuries. Today, its 36 lines put independent British brewers and cider makers at the centre of the conversation.
Follow a recommendation from the bar, make time for Sunday lunch, or gather your people in one of the private rooms. From the first taster to the last game of shuffleboard, there is always another reason to stay.
Thornbury · High Street
The Butcher’s Hook
Your plans can wait.
A quick pint becomes a catch-up. To bring everyone together.
A High Street local with room for one more.
The Butcher's Hook
The good kind of local.
On Thornbury High Street, a short stroll from the town’s castle, The Butcher’s Hook brings people together over a forever changing beer & cider list, small-batch spirits, a cracking hand picked wine list and a well-timed bar snack.
Why not enjoy the live music, bring a team for the quiz, or ask the bar for something you have never tried. It is a pub for everyday rituals: the after-work catch-up, the weekend meet-up and the familiar faces that make a place your own.
Cheltenham · High Street
The Strand
Let the afternoon linger.
Twenty rotating taps, a south-facing garden and good company. Step off the High Street and settle into your own pace.
The Strand
A little Cheltenham, all your own.
A wander from the Promenade or the Brewery Quarter brings you to The Strand. Inside, twenty rotating taps offer a window into British brewing. Outside, the south-facing garden makes a good argument for taking your time.
Lunch can turn into an afternoon with friends. Quiz night gives the week a gathering point. And when there is something bigger to celebrate, the upstairs room and private basement bar give your occasion a space of its own.
Wells · Somerset
The White Hart
Stay a little longer.
Five centuries of welcome, beside Wells Cathedral. A room of your own, a leisurely meal and Somerset on the doorstep.
The White Hart
Some places invite you to slow down.
The White Hart began welcoming travellers more than five hundred years ago. Its fifteenth-century story continues beside Wells Cathedral, with the market square, the Bishop’s Palace and the Mendip countryside close by.
Explore the city, return for a leisurely meal, then settle into a room full of character. From a cosy Cabin Room to a spacious Superior Double, a Somerset stay can begin with something as simple as choosing to stay another night.
