The Machan Way
Machan is an independent pub group proudly rooted in the town of Rugby. “Machan” means a close friend — a name that reflects the way we approach hospitality. Each of our venues has its own character, yet they are united by the same principles: care for our guests, serve food we are proud to put our name to, pour drinks properly, and create spaces people genuinely want to return to.
We believe in the details: the warmth of the lighting, the temperature of the cellar, and the genuine smile when you walk through the door.

Pubs in Rugby
Rugby is a town proud of its heritage and community spirit — best known as the birthplace of the sport of rugby football and home to historic institutions like the Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum.
Each Machan pub is chosen for its character and connection to the community. We believe in preserving the traditional local pub atmosphere while introducing contemporary touches that keep our venues vibrant and welcoming.
At Machan, we celebrate the broader tradition of English hospitality and the role pubs play in bringing people together. Our collection of venues is designed to offer local residents and visitors alike a place to gather, celebrate, and relax — whether over a quiet afternoon pint or a lively evening with friends.
Our food and drink offering is the heartbeat of our group. By sourcing ingredients locally where possible and employing skilled chefs versed in both British and Indian culinary arts, we create menus that are both familiar and exciting.
From the quiet afternoon pint to the lively weekend evening, we strive to maintain an atmosphere of calm confidence and genuine warmth in everything we do.
