Morgan Pub Collective Takes on Sixth Greene King Site after £270,000 investment

The Morgan Pub Collective has taken on its sixth pub with Greene King Pub Partners, The Gardener’s Arms in Oxford.

The pub, located on North Parade, Jericho, has been completely transformed inside and outside by owner Greene King Pub Partners thanks to a £270,000 investment, giving it a whole new lease of life.

Inside, the pub has all new seating, tables and fixtures and fittings including new lighting. The bar in the pub has also been revamped and new tiling and beautifully refurbished wooden floors add character to the pub throughout.

The outside of the pub has also been significantly upgraded with new frontage including all-new signs.

As a Morgan Pub Collective pub, The Gardener’s Arms will pride itself on a quality, premium offer – with a focus on exceptionally high-quality service and hospitality, combined with gastro pub style food and high-end craft beer and other drinks.

The food on offer at the pub will be tapas-style gastro pub food, such as premium scotch eggs and sausage rolls. 

The drinks on offer at the pub will include its own brewed premium beers as well as a wide range of craft beer.

Operated by the Morgan family who have over 40 years’ experience in running pubs, the Morgan Pub Collective operates over ten pubs across London and the South, including six pubs in partnership with Greene King Pub Partners.

In addition to The Gardener’s Arms, the pub company also operates The Grapes on George Street, Oxford.

Greene King Pub Partners worked with Box Construction and Concept Design and SGA quantity surveyors to deliver the refurbishment of the pub.

Richard Morgan, Operator of The Gardener’s Arms and Morgan Pub Collective, said:

“We’re really pleased to add The Gardener’s Arms to our growing portfolio of pubs with Greene King. The pub has been beautifully refurbished and upgraded throughout ahead of re-opening.

“Situated on the North Parade near the centre of Oxford, the pub is in an area that fits the profile of what we look for and where we think our premium offer will be popular.

Dan Robinson, Managing Director of Greene King Pub Partners, said:

“We are delighted to see The Gardener’s Arms re-open under the stewardship of Richard and the Morgan Pub Collective.

“Our £270,000 investment has transformed the pub inside and out, ready to deliver the offer the Morgan Pub Collective is known for.

“It is exciting to be growing our already successful partnership with the Morgan Pub Collective and we look forward to opening more successful pub businesses together.”
