Burning Night Group has acquired the freehold interest in the Albert Hotel in Southport, Merseyside, for its new brand, Authentic Alehouses.
The acquisition of the Albert Hotel marks the company’s second Southport site, joining The Sandgrounder.
Authentic Alehouses director Allan Harper said, “This is a great building and, as with all the sites we take on, we have a brilliant refurbishment planned.
“We are confident that this unit can become one of our flagship Authentic Alehouse's sites, we have some exciting things in store and look forward to celebrating the opening with the people of Southport.'
The deal was brokered by Ian Taylor of Fleurets who commented, “Situated directly opposite Southport Railway Station, the property consists of a large ground floor trading area and also includes a one bed flat.”
The new Authentic Alehouses brand targets freehold pubs, offering refurbishment before operating as principally non-tenanted public houses. Burning Night Group’s other examples include The Albert Hotel in Hull as well as The Countess Of Rosse on the western edge of Saltaire Retail Parade, west of Bradford.
