- Convenient, highly reliable on-site charging for guests at up to 65 locations, home to brands such as Miller & Carter, Ember Inns, All Bar One, Toby Carvery and Harvester.
- Mix of standard plus (22 kW), rapid and ultra-rapid chargers (up to 250 kW) to support both overnight hotel stays and shorter pub and restaurant visits.

Electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator (CPO) Believ has partnered with Mitchells & Butlers, the UK’s leading pub and restaurant company, to deliver fully funded EV charging infrastructure across a significant number of its sites nationwide.
Believ’s charge points use 100% renewable electricity, which supports Mitchells & Butlers’ sustainability strategy: helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve its goal of being net zero by 2040.
Up to 65 locations. Zero capital expenditure. End-to-end service.
The agreement will see Believ install EV chargers at up to 65 sites, providing an end-to-end service from site selection and installation through to ongoing operation and maintenance. The contract includes electricity supply, maintenance and repairs, software and platform management, and customer support. The CPO will also fully fund all the EV charge point installation costs, including construction, hardware, and electrical work.
EV charging where people eat, drink and stay.
With a wide variety of restaurants, bars and hotel venues in its portfolio, including Miller & Carter, Ember Inns, All Bar One, Toby Carvery and Harvester, Mitchells & Butlers is ideally placed to offer drivers convenient EV charging in both urban and out-of-town settings.
With installation starting in mid-2026, the project will see a mix of charge point types rolled out to serve different use cases. Sites with hotels will feature standard plus (22 kW) chargers designed for overnight or extended stays. For shorter visits typical at restaurants and pubs, Believ is installing rapid and ultra-rapid chargers delivering speeds of up to 250 kW, providing drivers with quick and convenient top-ups. Accessibility is also being factored in, with every site to include one or more fully accessible bays.
Sarah Leggett, Estate Project Manager at Mitchells & Butlers, said: “We are pleased to be working with Believ to deliver electric vehicle charge points across a number of our sites. This partnership will support our guests and businesses by providing convenient, reliable charging while enhancing the long‑term sustainability of our estate.”
Craig Butler, Property Director at Believ, says this is a strategic opportunity to meet the evolving needs of both drivers and destination businesses: “As EV adoption continues to grow, businesses like Mitchells & Butlers are recognising the importance of offering on-site charging to support customer demand and stay ahead of the curve.
“The variety of locations across their portfolio, from city centre pubs to countryside restaurants, means we can deploy a tailored mix of charge point speeds, providing value and convenience to a wide range of EV drivers.”
He adds: “By taking advantage of Believ’s fully funded model, they can deliver a scalable, future-proofed charging network that supports both sustainability goals and long-term customer loyalty.”

This partnership reflects Believ’s commitment to accelerating EV adoption by enabling landowners, hospitality operators and commercial estate holders to install EV infrastructure at scale, without upfront costs or operational burden. As demand from drivers and businesses continues to rise, Believ’s end-to-end model offers a reliable and accessible solution to support the UK’s transition to cleaner transport.
