Dog & Bacon, Horsham

The Challenge

Phil and Kathryn took on the Dog and Bacon doing just £5,000 a week the kind of number that makes most people walk away.

It needed more than a lick of paint: real money spent fast, and someone who actually believed there was a pub worth saving underneath it.

That’s where the partnership with Red Oak started, not just with a survey and a five-year plan, but with a decision to back them properly from day one.

The Solution

We approved more than £100k of investment within four months of Phil and Kathryn taking over. No lengthy review process, just a fast yes and a full refurbishment finished two months after they signed on for the long term.

The Dog and Bacon now takes around £20,000 a week, nearly five times what it was doing when they walked in, and sales are still climbing, up another 7.2% year on year.
