Run a Stonegate Pub - Stirrup Cup Leicester, Leicestershire

About the Pub

The Stirrup Cup is a great and very successful wet-led pub business boasting a prime location in a good residential area of Leicester. The pub currently operates from three main trading areas: the public bar, the lounge snug and the external beer garden. The lounge bar boasts a variety of seating options, a cosy period style fireplace, TV screens for sports viewing, a darts throw and a pool table. The lounge offers a private bar area which is a more relaxed space for drinks with friends however could be used for private functions to drive additional revenue. There is the potential for the new publican to introduce a food offer here as there is a fully fitted trade kitchen on site capable of producing a traditional pub menu. Externally there is an enclosed and well-presented lawned beer garden situated to the rear of the premises which provides picnic tables and chairs. Additional benefits include an additional paved seating area to the side of the pub and an extensive car park for around 100 vehicles. The private accommodation is well presented throughout and comprises four bedrooms, a living room, bathroom and domestic kitchen. Stonegate Pub Partners are now seeking either a new starter or an experienced publican who can keep this pub at the heart of the local community whilst developing a food offer to drive trade from further afield. Pub games, live sport and entertainment is an integral part of this business and should look to be continued by the new publican.
