The Craft Beer Co set to open in Clapham, London

Managing director Martin Hayes secured a free-of-tie lease through Enterprise on the Manor Arms, on Clapham's Manor Street, after having taken time to decide on the right site.

This is the fourth site to open in quick succession in the capital, and part of a carefully-considered plan by the company to slowly expand the business.

Hayes said: "I was keen to keep momentum, but equally keen to select the right site. Looking ahead, we'll continue to consider the numerous offers we receive from landlords and grow the business diligently and in a sustainable way. We've spent a great deal of time looking at other sites across the UK and feel it won't be long until we're talking about the next tranche of sites for The Craft Beer Co."
As well as Brixton, Clerkenwell and Islington, the company also operates a Brighton pub.
