BPE Solicitors assists Pete Creed and Tom Noest with acquisition of another Country Pub Hotel

BPE Solicitors has advised Pete Creed and Tom Noest in relation to their latest venture – a 10 year Lease of The Sherborne Arms in Northleach, from the UK’s largest pub company, Stonegate Group.

The Sherborne Arms is a quintessential Cotswold village pub dating back to the 1700's, situated on the historic market square of the market town of Northleach. Pete and Tom are hoping to open the doors to The Sherborne Arms in May following a refurbishment.

Pete and Tom have already experienced huge success in other similar ventures, including The Bell Inn at Langford and The Lamb Inn at Shipton-Under-Wychwood. Their pub hotels offer a modern country pub feel, showcasing the pairs' love for a hearty British menu with the addition of wood fired dishes, an extensive wine and beer list, and all with a strong focus on great hospitality and ambience. Their nose-to-tail cooking celebrating classic British food, offal & game has received rave reviews from Tom Parker Bowles (writing for The Mail on Sunday) and restaurant critic, Giles Coren. The Bell Inn has also been featured in The Times ‘Best Places to Stay: 100 Top British Hotels”.

Natalie Betteridge, Associate at BPE Solicitors, said “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Pete and Tom on their latest venture. Having already experienced first-hand the wonderful ambience (and delicious menus) they have created at The Bell I am certain The Sherborne Arms will become one of the next ‘hot spots’ in The Cotswolds in no time at all”.

Pete Creed commented “Natalie and BPE have always been extremely helpful with everything we ask of them no matter how big or small the request. Their experience has always helped us get the best deal possible in the quickest possible time.”
