The seal of approval from the local community – this pub has all that and more! 👏🏻🍻
Thanks to our fantastic Property Team, a £480k investment has marked the start of an exciting new chapter for The Bramford C**k in Ipswich. 🤩
The beautiful transformation was all about putting the pub back at the heart of its community – creating a warm, welcoming, family-oriented destination that the whole village can be proud of.
Led by new Management Partner, Jenny, the vision was clear: to be a brilliant village local offering outstanding food, friendly service and a great atmosphere, seven days a week – and it’s a big tick all round! ✅
A huge thank you to everyone involved in helping this pub spread its wings once again. It’s an exciting investment and a bright future for Jenny and the team! 🍻

News just in…
We’re delighted to announce that The Windsor Castle N2 has done it – they are officially the BII’s Licensee of the Year 2026 winners! 🤩👏🏻
An incredible achievement for a fantastic team, led by Eamonn and Arina, who strive each and every day to inspire those moments and deliver five-star service.
When they found out they were finalists, they said: “This award really does mean a lot and will enable us to showcase all our achievements – our passion for hospitality, continued positive growth and development, our amazing team, and, above all else, our commitment to and love of our local community. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
“In 2022, we took on a small backstreet pub that hadn’t been doing too well. We put our hearts and souls into making it special and made a real effort to connect with the local community. The Windsor Castle is now a much-loved community asset – for the community, with the community at its heart.”
Simply incredible – the whole Punch team could not be prouder.
Well done and huge congratulations to you all! 👏🍾

In this exciting investment at The Three Little Pigs, Crediton, our team listened to guests and the wider community to deliver a thoughtful refresh that locals can be proud of.
Building on something already fantastic and unique, the light-touch changes have been warmly welcomed by the community, who are delighted to see the pub’s character carefully retained.
What did we do?
🍻 Refurbished and reconfigured the bar and enhanced the drinks offering
☀️ Refreshed the outdoor area in time for summer
🍽️ Introduced a new food menu with something for everyone to enjoy
At the heart of it all is the legacy of former landlady Sandra and her late husband Maurice, who created a warm, community-driven pub at the centre of the market town.
A true gem to be proud of. Well done to the whole team, and best of luck to James and Heidi, our new Management Partners. 👏🏻
