The Dial Bar and Restaurant Changes Ownership
Burton on Trent, 9th September 2025 – The Dial Bar and Restaurant, a beloved establishment based in Station Street, Burton on Trent, has officially changed ownership, marking a new chapter in its storied history. After 23 years at the helm, James and Emily have passed the torch to Yeomans Developments Ltd (YDL) which has purchased both the property and the business.
Outgoing owners James and Emily have been instrumental in building The Dial into a local favourite, which is well known for its welcoming atmosphere, exceptional service and fine dining experience. James and Emily also expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the patrons and staff who have contributed to The Dials success.
James commented “After 23 years of dedication and hard work, we are excited to announce that The Dial has been sold to the Yeomans family, a local family deeply rooted in the Burton on Trent community. This decision was made with great care, as it was crucial for me and Emily to find independent successors who share our love for this business. We believe that the Yeomans family embodies these values and will bring fresh energy and passion to The Dial”.
Laren and Christine Yeomans newly appointed directors of The Dial shared their enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “Both us and our daughters Leanne, Laura, Louise, Libby & our son Lucas are all thrilled to become the new owners of The Dial. Our goal is to maintain its status as the area’s number one establishment, while also enhancing and developing the facilities in the coming months to provide an even better experience for our valued guests.” said Laren.
We have some exiting enhancements in the planning stage and further details of these will be broadcast through our social channels shortly but let’s say one of these may include “Turning the Clock Back”!
The Dial will continue to operate with its tremendous team of dedicated staff, ensuring that customers can enjoy the same great atmosphere they’ve come to love. “It’s business as usual,” said Christine “and we look forward to greeting existing and new guests to The Dial”.
