Does Greene King operate the pub or does it let the pub to somebody else who runs the pub business? If the latter then the transfer would not be capable of TOGC treatment because Greene King's business would be one of property letting and you would not be taking over that business.
If Greene King have opted to tax the property then you can ensure that the transfer is not capable of TOGC treatment by not opting to tax and not giving an Article 5(2B) notice.
