Pubs Code (Pubs Code etc.)

The Pubs Code is a set of rules in the UK that governs the relationship between pub tenants (who rent and run pubs) and pub-owning companies. It aims to ensure fair treatment, transparency, and reasonable business practices, including how rent is set, how disputes are handled, and how tenants can buy beer. The code is enforced by the Pubs Code Adjudicator, an independent body that oversees compliance. Its goal is to promote fair negotiation and protect tenants from unfair practices by pubcos (pub companies).
