Greene King

Greene King is a British pub, restaurant, and brewing company based in Bury St Edmunds, England, operating a large estate of managed, tenanted, and leased pubs across the United Kingdom. It serves consumers looking for dining, drinking, and accommodation options, spanning value-focused pub chains, family dining brands, and boutique hotels under names such as Hungry Horse, Chef & Brewer, Farmhouse Inns, and Metropolitan Pub Company. The company also brews its own beers, including Greene King IPA and Abbot Ale, maintaining a heritage brewing operation alongside its hospitality estate. Its business extends to franchising and leasing arrangements, allowing independent operators to run pubs under Greene King branding and supply agreements. The company is owned by Hong Kong-based conglomerate CK Asset Holdings, which acquired it to expand its presence in the UK leisure and property sector.
