About Peach Pubs

Peach offer a collection of great gastro pubs, mainly in market towns in the heart of England, that serve good-quality, fresh, honest food and drink in relaxed, welcoming surroundings.

Peach began in 2002 when restaurateur Lee Cash opened The Rose and Crown in Warwick, believing every town deserves a great pub.

Trained and mentored by Robin Sheppard and Raymond Blanc, he started Peach at the age of 27 with a clear conviction that people would embrace a pub that served quality food and drink at a sensible price in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Based in North Aston in Oxfordshire, Peach today employ hundreds of people across 18 pubs ancient and modern. Each one is a well-loved ‘local’ to its regulars and hosts a wealth of fun events and special occasions.

Since 2002, the chain has added a chic boutique hotel, simple bedrooms, cocktails, grand gins and ever-improving coffee.
