The Grand Junction Arms
Something new is coming…
We’re excited to share that Craft Locals has taken on The Grand Junction Arms in Tring.
It’s a beautiful pub on the canal with loads of character — and we can’t wait to re-open.
We’ll be reopening in late October 2025, bringing the same focus on cask ale, good food and a proper welcome that’s made The Red Lion, Chenies so special.
Join the team
With reopening comes a bigger team — and we’re looking for great people to be part of it. From general managers and chefs to front of house and back of house, if you’re up for working hard, learning, and being part of an independent pub group that’s growing, we’d love to hear from you.
Keep an eye out here (and on our socials) for updates as we get closer to opening. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
