An Ever So Sensible opening

Managed multiple Ever So Sensible, run by former Mitchells & Butlers executive Chris Bulaitis, pictured, is opening up its second site in Lincoln.

It is taking over the Horse & Groom, an Enterprise Inns pub that has been closed for 20 months.

The pub is undergoing a £200,000 refurbishment. Ever So Sensible also operates Dogma in Lincoln.

Scott Whittaker, marketing and operations manager for Ever So Sensible, said: “This will be completely different from our Dogma bar.

“We are going for a traditional pub with real traditional food and real ale. The Horse & Groom is in a really iconic spot.

“Drivers can’t help notice it and, even though it has been closed for so long, it still hasn’t fallen out of the public eye.”
