BARKBY GROUP TAKE OVER THE EBRINGTON ARMS

6/6/2021

It was announced today that The Ebrington Arms has been sold to the Barkby Group. 

In a statement on Instagram,  Ebrington landlady Claire Alexander said;

"After nearly 15 years, we’re finally ready to hand over the reigns at The Ebrington Arms.

We were approached a while ago and it felt like the right time so we can focus on @thekillingworth (our other pub just up the road!) & our family.

Going to miss everyone who has helped us achieve more than we ever dreamed of at The Ebrington Arms. While the locals were aghast when we rocked up from London in 2007 having never had a pub before, I think we’ve built a sustainable business to be proud of and put our corner of the Cotswolds on the map. We’ve met characters from all over the world and some have become lifelong friends. The Yubby is where we learned the trade, brought our kids into the world, started brewing @yubbybitter and created a pub that foodies and beer lovers kept coming back to.

Jim and I are SO very thankful for that. A pub is just walls without its people & atmosphere after all.

New owners, Barkby Group, are no newcomers to the trade. With a heritage in maintaining character in their unique Cotswold properties, they’ve told us little will change and we hope you give them a big, famous Yubby welcome.

While it feels like the end of an era to us (ref all my nostalgic ‘before & after’ posts of late!) the team will largely remain the same but our Head chef, Adam Brown, has moved to The Killingworth Castle with us.

Bottoms up darlings, it’s been a pleasure and an absolute blast.

Love, Claire & Jim"

The Barkby Group boast The Five Alls at Filkings, The Bull at Fairford and The Plough Inn at Kelmscott in their portfolio of pubs and hotels in the Cotswolds.
