The Barton Investors Group Story
Building a family of exceptional hospitality venues across the South West of England.
Bringing People Together Through Great Hospitality
Barton Investors Group was founded with a clear vision: to build a group of outstanding hospitality venues, each with its own distinctive character, that serve as the heart of their communities.
We believe the best pubs, inns, and restaurants are more than just places to eat and drink — they are gathering places where memories are made, friendships are forged, and communities come together.
Our approach is simple: find exceptional venues with genuine character, invest in quality, support talented teams, and let each property shine on its own terms.

Our Approach to Hospitality
Venue Acquisition
We carefully identify and acquire venues with genuine character, heritage, and potential — properties that can become truly special places.
Investment & Renovation
Every venue receives thoughtful investment to enhance the guest experience whilst preserving the unique character that makes it special.
Food & Drink Excellence
From locally sourced ingredients to carefully curated drinks menus, we are passionate about quality across every venue.
People Development
Our teams are our greatest asset. We invest in training, development, and creating a workplace where talent thrives.
Digital Presence
Each venue receives a bespoke website and strong online presence, helping guests discover and connect with our properties.
Sustainability
We are committed to responsible practices — reducing waste, supporting local suppliers, and minimising our environmental impact.
Growing with Purpose
