The pubs up for lease in north and mid Essex right now

Coronavirus restrictions means they've faced months of closures and even when the Government's Tier system was in place many had to remain closed.

But we're certain our publicans will be able to bounce back once it is safe to do so - we'll all be in need a pint that's for sure.

Being a landlord is a dream job for many of us and whilst it is no doubt difficult, the rewards are great.
