About Bexleigh Group
Founded in Portsmouth, Hampshire, Bexleigh Group is an independent British hospitality organisation established to build a resilient, diversified portfolio of hospitality services, venues, and opportunities through responsible and sustainable growth.
Our vision for British hospitality
Established as a family-led enterprise, our long-term ambition is to become an enduring cornerstone of the UK’s wider hospitality infrastructure. We develop, operate, and support ventures spanning food and beverage operations, pubs and inns, boutique hotels, events, and talent recruitment.
Rather than pursuing hasty expansion, we prioritise sustainable revenue generation, building genuine value for the communities, partners, and teams we work alongside.
Practical expertise and leadership
Bexleigh Group is founded and led by Samuel Mabe, supported by an experienced board of advisers across strategic commercial disciplines. Samuel brings a decade of hands-on industry experience across premier dining establishments, including rosette and Michelin-recommended kitchens, senior culinary management, and head chef appointments.
This deep practical knowledge of operational control, procurement, team mentorship, and guest experience ensures our business decisions remain grounded in real-world hospitality excellence.
A disciplined, phased approach
We distinguish ourselves by prioritising strong financial discipline, lean operational overheads, and dependable service quality before scaling. Our values are anchored in integrity, professionalism, independence, and absolute respect for our people.
By safeguarding commercial stability and nurturing mutually beneficial partnerships, we ensure that every venture under the Bexleigh banner delivers lasting value and exemplary hospitality.
"Our ambition is to build an independent British hospitality group that develops businesses with care, supports dedicated people, and creates lasting value for the communities we serve."
