Heartwood Collections has snapped up two more of Whitbread’s restaurants – the George and Dragon, and the Red Lion – for an undisclosed amount.
The George and Dragon is a traditional riverside site in Marlow, serving traditional dishes with “a friendly heritage feel”.
Meanwhile, the Red Lion is a “stylish” community location that features a large beer garden in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Both properties are set to undergo multi-million-pound refurbishments.
