Definitions
(UK) A large business enterprise that owns a number of pubs under tenant agreements, or as managed houses.
“I’ve noticed a lot of pubco pubs around here are churning almost yearly, and the sad fact is the people in the trade who know how to run pubs well are steering well clear of these places, leaving it to inexperienced people who are the least equipped to make them work.”
