South East multiple operator Austin Whelan continues to grow his family-run AK Whelan Management portfolio, with the recent opening of his 11th establishment. Whelan, an experienced figure in the industry, oversees a diverse array of venues, including both leased and freehold properties, and even a separate estate of pubs in partnership with Colin Coogan called Doolin Rock Pubs.

The most recent addition to the AK Whelan Management collection is a freehold pub located on Beckenham High Street. Previously known as The Manor House and formerly a Slug and Lettuce site, this establishment has undergone a remarkable £750,000 renovation. Under its new identity, Erin’s, named after Whelan’s daughter, it sets its sights on offering quality food, top-tier beverages, and live entertainment to patrons.
