Pubs Code PCA

🍺 The PCA’s 2026 Tied Tenant Survey results have been published🍺
The Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) has published the findings of the 2026 Tied Tenant Survey, providing an overview of the experiences and views of tied pub tenants across the six regulated pub companies in England and Wales.

Each year, the PCA commissions an independent survey of over 1,200 tied pub tenants, carried out by Ipsos, to track changes over time and explore key aspects of the tied relationship including rent, Business Development Managers (BDMs) and awareness of statutory rights.

On this occasion, a member of the team accompanied a Business Development Manager from Greene King.
