Fuller, Smith & Turner owns and operates more than 380 pubs, inns and hotels across the south of England.

Beer has been brewed on Fuller's historic Griffin Brewery site in Old Chiswick since the seventeenth century.

[a] From the original brewery in the gardens of Bedford House on Chiswick Mall, the business expanded and thrived until the early part of the nineteenth century.

Money problems forced the owners, Douglas and Henry Thompson and Philip Wood, to seek a partner.

[3] Reg Drury joined Fullers in 1959 at a time when cask ales were in decline, and worked there for 40 years, becoming the director of brewing.

The switchover to conical fermenters improved consistency and allowed Drury to perfect the recipes of Fuller's beers.

This included the entirety of Fuller's beer, cider and soft drinks brewing and production, wine wholesaling, distribution, and the Griffin Brewery site.

[16] In February 1995, while visiting the Griffin Brewery, Prince Charles added a handful of hops to a copper of 1845.

[30] In February 2018, Fuller's bought Dark Star Brewery, based in Partridge Green, West Sussex, for an undisclosed sum.
