Chestnut
The Chestnut was established in May 2012 by former banker and corporate financier Philip Turner, who had the vision to create a family of hostelries, under the Chestnut umbrella, which would defy pigeon-holing into the standard classifications of pub, hotel or restaurant, but be simply synonymous with a great experience. The group’s continued development strategy is to identify and purchase freehold sites in the East Anglian region, which as a result of under capital investment, are not delivering their full potential. Recognising that people are at the heart of every successful service business, Chestnut sees recruitment and employee development as central to its future growth and is committed to offering opportunities to entrants at all levels, to have not just a job, but a long-term career.
