The boss of Everards Brewery said the business is pushing on with plans for a 120 room hotel, and is in talks to find a potential operator.
The Leicestershire brewing and pubs business wants to build the hotel next to its HQ and brewery on the Everards Meadows site, next to Fosse Shopping Park, just south of Leicester. It also hopes to add eight office blocks there too, providing 100,000 sq ft of space.
Managing director Stephen Gould talked through the latest on the plans with BusinessLive and described how the pub estate was managing the cost of living crisis and rising inflation. He also spoke about how the business was preparing for his eventual retirement and gave his thoughts on new plans to cut the tax burden on pub beer and cider sales, recently laid out in the Spring Budget.
