The Victoria Park offers a great opportunity for someone who wants to take on a well-backed, refurbished pub with plenty of potential.
What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success?
The area
The Victoria Park sits just outside Leicester city centre on Welford Road, opposite Victoria Park and close to the University of Leicester. The pub benefits from strong footfall thanks to its busy roadside position and proximity to the city’s student housing, retail, and leisure areas.
There are around 7,660 adults within a 10-minute walk, rising to over 23,000 within 20 minutes. The area is well populated with students and young adults, making it an ideal location for a lively, modern Premium Local.
The offer
The Victoria Park is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement.
The refurbishment will completely transform the pub, creating a welcoming, contemporary space. Inside, the main trade area will be fully redecorated with a new bar, finishes, furniture, and refurbished toilets. Externally, there will be new signage, full redecoration, and a refreshed beer garden with improved seating and lighting.
Once complete, The Victoria Park will trade as a Premium Local offering a quality mix of premium lagers, cask ales, ciders, wines, spirits, and cocktails. The food offer will be low-skilled but trendy, focusing on burgers, pizzas, and other casual dishes. Entertainment such as live music, sport, quizzes, and events will build rhythm and attract a diverse customer base.
We’re always open to new ideas – what would you do to drive trade?
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, we’d love to hear what experience you can bring.
The right operator for The Victoria Park will be energetic, creative, and confident in engaging both the local and student communities.
