The Gardeners Rest pub has been a community-owned pub since 2016 and currently has over 430 investors who elect the management board and have a say in how the pub develops as a community enterprise, benefiting its customers and the wider community.

​

Your investment will give you a stake in a professionally managed pub which also creates supported training opportunities for young adults who are often excluded from the workplace, and which provides space for music and the arts.

​

You can buy shares for as little as £100 for 100 shares (and thereon in multiples of £100) and these can be held by individuals or a group. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote at the AGM.
