Client: Mitchells & Butlers
Mitchells & Butlers is the leading operator of managed pubs, bars and restaurants in the UK. Its brands include Harvester, Sizzling Pub Company, Toby Carvery, Vintage Inns and All Bar One.
Our leisure team advised Mitchells & Butlers on its business rates liability on over half of its 2,000 site portfolio, saving the company over £10m from appeals against the 2005 rating revaluation assessments.
We have been appointed as Mitchells & Butlers sole advisor for the 2010 revaluation. This instruction includes franchised outlets, Hollywood Bowl tenpin bowling centres and a number of unlicensed properties such as the group's corporate offices.
The instruction is also a win for Gerald Eve's Rates Payment Managment Service team, who took over responsibility for paying Mitchells & Butlers bills from April 2010, and recovering any overpayments through an historic rates audit.
