Offas Dyke Hotel

The Offas Dyke in Broughton offers a standout opportunity to take on a well‑loved community pub that is soon to be transformed into an impressive Hive venue.

Already known for its warm atmosphere and steady mix of locals, families, dog‑walkers and sports fans, the pub sits in a residential area rich in heritage, drawing its name from the historic Offa’s Dyke earthwork nearby. A full refurbishment will elevate the pub into a fresh, modern Hive experience while preserving its community heart. The redesign will enhance zoning for sports, pool, darts and machines, open up the dining area into an inviting family space and create a natural connection to an improved rear garden. Externally, the pub will gain the bold Hive identity with new signage, lighting, planting and an expanded front patio that boosts kerb appeal and outdoor capacity. The transformation aims to make the venue more welcoming, more flexible and more engaging for everyday social occasions, family time and live entertainment. This opportunity suits a franchisee who genuinely thrives on community interaction. The pub needs someone experienced, energetic and able to build strong relationships with locals while creating reasons for the wider community to visit more often. With the upgraded layout supporting everything from sport to family activity to live moments, the ideal operator will be confident in bringing the space to life and keeping the atmosphere friendly, inclusive and vibrant. The vision for the Offas Dyke is to offer something for everyone. Families, sports fans, casual drinkers and weekend visitors will all find a reason to return, supported by the investment, the Hive brand and the pub’s strong local footprint. It is an exciting chance to take on a refreshed, revitalised community pub with real potential for growth.
