Why Wadworth?

Finding the right pub and the right company to be a part of is essential. At Wadworth, not only do we have a great portfolio of pubs across the South and West, we are also serious about building quality business partnerships and are here to support you.

We’ve been brewing beer in the beautiful market town of Devizes since 1875 when Henry Alfred Wadworth founded the business. Wadworth passed to Henry’s founding partner, John Smith Bartholomew, and is now in the fifth generation of ownership with Toby Bartholomew leading the company as Managing Director.

We are an independent family business.

We are a small, hands on team with a wealth of industry experience.

You’ll be part of the family, with everyone here to help and provide expertise and support when needed.

We are proud to be rooted in the South West of England and have a host of beautiful pubs across the region.
