Why Batemans?

Batemans are a great brewery to work with

We’re renowned in the brewing industry for our unwavering commitment to fairness and transparency. Notably, we were the first brewery to have our own accredited code of practice – a standard considered the best in the business.

We are true to our word – when we make promises, we stand by them, making us a great brewery to be in business with. We’re dedicated to nurturing your success through our steadfast service, unwavering support, and innovative ideas – we empower pubs to flourish. Our ethos is centred on ‘Good Honest Pubs Run by Good, Honest People’. This sentiment was established by Harry Bateman back in 1953 and resonates deeply within our brewery; he said “In your business, don’t ever lose the human touch with your staff and tenants.”

Batemans is an established family business spanning four generations. The shares are safeguarded within the family, a testament to our commitment to securing the business’s enduring legacy and values for future generations, staff, publicans and customers.

Stuart Bateman says, “Our family, is proud to own this business. We are unwavering in our focus on the brewery, pubs, Business Owners, publicans, and staff thriving for years to come. Our decisions are forged for the collective good in the immediate and distant future; we are not driven by short-term gains at the expense of the long-term plan. We aspire to provide future generations of publicans, customers, staff, and our family the opportunity to fulfil their dreams and be part of what takes us forward as a business.”
