Georgie Pearman dreamt of fleeing London for a less stressful life in the country. But while the former City lawyer has managed to escape the city, her version of country life is far from peaceful. She is buried deep in the Cotswolds running a pub empire.
It doesn’t hurt, of course, that her husband, Sam, is an experienced chef and restaurant manager. In a climate where a dozen British pubs close every week , the decision was brave; the transition challenging. The results, however, have been life-changing .
The couple had been living in Battersea, south-west London. Georgie worked for Allen & Overy while Sam, a former professional rugby player, managed the Glasshouse in Kew. In 2004 they were offered the tenancy of a pub and hotel in Cirencester by a family friend and leapt at the chance.
