Pub & Bar Partnerships helps independant pubs, bars, restaurants & hotels reduce costs, improve margins & build long term value through collective purchasing, operational expertise & strategic support
By bringing together ambitious hospitality operators, we unlock the commercial advantages normally reserved for large managed groups & national chains, whilst preserving the individuality & character of each business
Who We Are
Pub & Bar Partnership was founded by Howard Thacker and Patrick Hammond, two highly experienced hospitality professionals with decades of success owning and operating multiple pubs, bars and restaurants across the Midlands and London.
Having built and managed profitable businesses themselves, they understand the day-to-day challenges faced by independent operators and are committed to helping others improve profitability through the power of collective purchasing.
Why Pub & Bar Partnerships?
The UK hospitality industry has never faced greater pressure. Rising employment costs, increasing utility bills, inflation and tighter consumer spending have significantly reduced margins for many independent businesses.
Unlike national operators, independent pubs, bars and restaurants often lack the purchasing power to negotiate the most competitive prices from suppliers.
Pub & Bar Partnership was created to change that.
By bringing together a network of quality independent operators, we negotiate preferential terms with leading suppliers, enabling every member to benefit from buying power that would otherwise be unavailable. Our objective is simple: reduce operating costs, protect margins and help independent hospitality businesses thrive.
Joining the Partnership
Joining is straightforward. Complete our application form and we'll arrange a meeting to understand your business and explore how the partnership can benefit you.
During 2026 Membership is free of charge, allowing new members to experience the value of the partnership without any financial commitment.
How it Works
We invest in our partners subject to duediligence. Members may continue to trade directly with existing suppliers or have the option to benefit from the preferential pricing and commercial terms negotiated by Pub & Bar Partnership with leading suppliers.
As the partnership grows, so will the range of products and services available. Our ambition is to become a complete purchasing solution for independent hospitality businesses, delivering savings across beverages, food, catering equipment, glassware, crockery, furniture, cleaning products, utilities, insurance, technology and many other operational essentials.
Every new supplier agreement has one purpose: to help our members operate more efficiently, improve profitability and remain competitive in an increasingly challenging marketplace.
