Couple to create three-strong pub business
Steve and Maria Harris will go from one to three sites in the coming months.
Licensees Steve and Maria Harris and their daughter-in-law Nathalie Harris are set to take over The Old Mill in Salisbury, their second pub with Greene King Pub Partners.
Alongside The Old Mill, they're are also taking on The Boathouse in Salisbury – a freehold site – which is due to reopen on the 31 August.
The couple opened their first pub, The Stag in Lyndhurst, with Greene King back in February 2021, and have since grown the business successfully.
The Old Mill will reopen under their control towards the end of September. Their vision for the pub is to turn it into a top hotel experience, complementing the accommodation in the pub with a community-focussed bar and a restaurant serving the same fresh British food of The Stag in Lyndhurst.
“From first time publicans to a multiple pub operation, it is a pleasure to see Steve and Maria grow their pub business with our support and investment,” says Wayne Shurvinton, managing director for Greene King Pub Partners.
To deliver on their vision, the couple plan to temporarily close the pub in the new year a full refurbishment.
