Welcome to Ardent Pub Group
About Ardent
At Ardent, everything starts with people. Whether you’re walking into one of our pubs or joining our team, you’ll be met with genuine warmth. We build pubs that are rooted in their communities, driven by purpose and built to last.
We operate three acclaimed pubs - The George (Fitzrovia), The Cadogan Arms (Chelsea), and The Hound (Chiswick) - each rooted in tradition but full of fresh energy. In 2024, we were named Food-Led Pub Group of the Year at the R200 Awards, with The Cadogan Arms and The George both featured in the Top 100 Gastropubs list.
We are proud to be included in CODE Hospitality's Happiest Places to Work for 2025.
Our mission is to deliver the gold standard of public houses - where quality food, drink, and service create exceptional experiences. If that resonates, we’d love to hear from you.
