Ideal Operator
We’re looking for a hands-on, community-focused operator who enjoys being the face of their business. Someone confident hosting live music, pub quizzes, and seasonal events will thrive here. Experience running a wet-led pub is beneficial, and there’s room to introduce a simple food offer to maximise revenue. This pub would suit a publican who’s passionate about creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere and wants to become part of the local fabric.
Private Accommodation
Two double and two single bedrooms with a large lounge, all in good decorative order. The landing area has been customised, creating a stylish workstation area. The accommodation leads directly down to the pub kitchen and has private rear access and a good-sized private courtyard.
Regional Manager's Thoughts
This is a good local community that has the benefit of a good food operation as well as a venue for live music. The site has a welcoming feel as soon as you enter the site, and it is supported by the local customers. The pub is welcoming with open log burners in the colder months, as well as a very good selection of Cask Ales along with Continental Lagers.
Surrounding Area
Whittlesey is a growing market town near Peterborough, combining rural charm with residential development. The pub is close to the town centre, surrounded by local shops, schools, and residential housing. It benefits from footfall throughout the day and evening, particularly during local events such as the famous Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival. The area has a strong community feel, offering great potential for a publican who thrives in a neighbourhood environment.
