This is a well-established wet-led pub, but there is significant potential to develop a successful food offering, making it an exciting opportunity for a passionate and hands-on publican. We are looking for someone who not only understands quality service and great beer but also has the ambition to expand the pub’s appeal through a well-thought-out food menu. The existing preparation and cooking area provides a foundation for a food offer, and with the right approach, it could quickly become a key part of the business. A strong, home-cooked, great-value menu and even a Carvery could drive footfall and encourage longer dwell times, increasing trade and profitability. Beyond the food and drink, the ideal publican will be someone who truly understands the importance of a pub as a community hub. The Black Horse has a loyal customer base and is known for its lively atmosphere, sports, games, and live entertainment. Someone who can build on this reputation, engage with locals, and create a welcoming, inclusive environment will thrive here. A successful operator will be business-minded yet hands-on, willing to immerse themselves in the day-to-day running of the pub, build relationships with customers, and drive growth through creative events, a strong drinks range, and an enticing food offer. With the backing of Stonegate, the UK’s largest pub company, you’ll have the flexibility of self-employment while benefiting from expert industry support to help you make the most of this opportunity. If you have the passion, experience, and drive to make The Black Horse a thriving community pub, we’d love to hear from you. Private Accommodation The private accommodation includes three bedrooms, a lounge, a large bathroom, and loft storage. It is in good order throughout. Regional Manager's Thoughts The Black Horse has built a strong and diverse customer base, attracting locals of all ages who appreciate its welcoming atmosphere, traditional charm, and lively entertainment schedule. The pub enjoys a loyal community following, with customers returning for its well-kept real ales, regular live music, sports screenings, and games. While the pub is already a well-loved establishment, it is crying out for a proper family-friendly carvery, which would fill a gap in the local market and provide a huge opportunity for growth. With a preparation and cooking area already in place, an experienced operator could introduce a strong food offer that complements the pub’s wet-led trade. A quality carvery, featuring freshly cooked meats, traditional sides, and hearty portions at great value, would attract families, Sunday diners, and those looking for a welcoming pub with homemade, comforting meals. The Black Horse’s spacious outdoor area, large garden, and children’s play area make it an ideal venue to develop a family-friendly offer, ensuring that it becomes a go-to destination for both locals and visitors alike. By combining great beer, live entertainment, and a well-thought-out food menu, this pub has the potential to become a true hub of the community, offering something for everyone while maximising trade and profitability. With the right vision and execution, The Black Horse could take its success to the next level and cement itself as the top choice for families, groups, and pub-goers looking for quality food and drink in a welcoming setting.
