🍻 Could The Queens Hotel, Accrington be your next venture?

We're looking for a new tenant to take the reins of The Queens Hotel and build on everything that makes it a valued local pub.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a passion for hospitality to become part of the community and make the pub their own.

Take our quick Pub Quiz and choose A or B for each question to find your route.

💙 Mostly A’s? Managed could be for you.
🍺 Mostly B’s? Tenanted might be your next move.

Some goodbyes hit harder than others. 🍻

In hospitality, we’re used to being there for people’s goodbyes. The leaving drinks, the last shift, the farewell meal, the raise of a glass to someone moving on.

But when it’s the pub or restaurant itself that people are saying goodbye to, it hits differently.

We’re incredibly saddened to hear about the closure of Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants. It’s another difficult loss for our hospitality industry, but behind every closed door is also a team of people facing uncertainty about what comes next.

Managers, Assistant Managers and hospitality teams who have spent years welcoming guests, building relationships and making their venues somewhere people want to return to.

If you’re one of those people, we’d like to hear from you.

At Inglenook, we have pubs across the North of England and beyond, and we might just have the right pub and the right next chapter for you.

If you’re a Manager or Assistant Manager affected by the closures, get in touch for a confidential conversation about opportunities with Inglenook.

To everyone affected, from one hospitality team to another, we’re sorry to see you go. ❤️

🎉Celebrating two brilliant years at Ye Olde Boots Inn 🎉

Massive congratulations to Paul and Tony on reaching their 2-year anniversary as operators!

What they’ve done with the pub over the past two years has been amazing, and we’re so proud to have them as part of the Inglenook family. 🍻

Here’s to many more! 🍻

🎉 COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT 🎉

What Lauren has done at the Royal Oak in Accrington over the last 18 months has been amazing, and we couldn’t be prouder to have her as part of Inglenook.

Seeing the pub go from strength to strength and Lauren get the recognition she deserves as a finalist for Lancashire Telegraph’s Best Pub 2026 is brilliant to see. ❤️

A huge well done to Lauren and the whole Royal Oak team. So well deserved! 🍻

Our pubs are getting involved in Macmillan’s Coffee Morning 💚

Across Inglenook, our pubs will be putting the kettle on, bringing out the cakes and getting together to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Macmillan provides vital support to people living with cancer, from practical and emotional support to helping people navigate the financial impact a diagnosis can bring. It’s a cause that means so much to so many, and we’re proud that our pubs will be doing their bit to help.

So, whether you’re joining us for a quick cuppa, treating yourself to a slice of cake or staying for a catch-up, every little bit of support can make a difference.

We celebrated our very own pub dog Susie this morning, but we couldn’t let National Dog Day go by without celebrating the rest of our pub pups too! 🐾

We’ve gathered together some of the lovely four-legged faces who’ve been spotted across our pubs, and quite frankly, there are a lot of them.

Big dogs, little dogs, regulars who know exactly where they’re going the second they walk through the door, and those who have mastered the art of looking desperately hungry despite definitely being fed at home.

They join you for the walk, come along for the pint and somehow always end up getting more attention than the people who actually brought them.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here are just some of the very good boys and girls who make our pubs that little bit better.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

🐾 Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

Did you know all of our Inglenook pubs are dog friendly? Because a trip to the pub is always better when the dog comes with you. 🍻🐶

Meet Susie, our pub dog mascot. She takes her role very seriously, carrying out regular spot checks across our pubs… mainly checking the treats and belly rubs are up to scratch.

We love seeing your four-legged friends enjoying our pubs too, so make sure to share your snaps with us! 🐾
