Brunning & Price Claim the Crown Once More in PubTrack Rankings
For the second straight year, Brunning & Price—a proud member of The Restaurant Group—has taken the top spot in CGA by NIQ’s PubTrack rankings, sealing its status as Britain’s leading pub operator.
What’s PubTrack All About?
PubTrack is a bit like a crystal ball for pub owners. By weaving together the CGA Outlet Index with feedback from a whopping 10,000 nationally representative pub-goers, it gives operators a detailed snapshot of how patrons feel about everything from the cask selection to the cosy corner chairs.
It’s not just about numbers; it tells a story—regional quirks, the drink that’s most on point, or the brand that keeps people coming back. Think of it as your pub’s personal diary, but with data that actually drives sales.

“Think of it as your very own playbook for turning casual drinkers into die‑hard brand champions.”
