Run a Stonegate Pub - Nightjar Hotel Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire

About the Pub

The Nightjar is a two-room traditional estate pub in the heart of Bransholme with a large car park and an outside drinking area. Also on the car park is a William Hill Bookmakers which links well with the horse racing and the pubs offering of Sky Sports. Internally the pub offers a lively public bar which offers a dedicated hard floor area for pool and darts and a carpeted raised area with fixed seating. The bar area is where most of the mid-week trade takes place centred around the pool, darts and TV screens and the lounge plays host to weekend entertainment, functions and Sunday lunches. An adequately sized catering kitchen can be located behind the bar which can provide a simple food menu if desired. Externally there is an enclosed outside drinking area which can accessed from the lounge. This area is a sun trap with several wooden A-frame benches and a retractable awning, a popular spot during the summer months. The pub also offers good sized private accommodation with four medium sized double bedrooms, an open plan lounge and kitchen. The Nightjar thrives on being the centre of the community and requires a hands-on publican with the desire to ensure the Nightjar is the place for all games, sporting events and entertainment required to attract and retain the local customer base.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The pub is a very popular community pub popular with local sports teams, function evenings and weekend entertainment. The customer base will always be from the local residents in the area and any new customers will discover the pub having been as part of a team event or function. I am now seeking a publican whether new to the trade or experienced who can integrate with the local people and continue and develop the sports and entertainment offering.

Surrounding Area

The Nightjar is a fantastic community pub in a residential estate in the heart of Bransholme, a large residential estate in the north side of Kingston-Upon-Hull. The pub shares its car park with a William Hill Bookmaker which brings a good volume of passing trade to the pub with its offering of televised Sky Sports and horse racing. With housing surrounding the pub there is also plenty of opportunity to capture the trade of the locals in the area.
