Run a Stonegate Pub - Elephant & Castle Holmfirth, West Yorkshire

About the Pub

The Elephant and Castle is a fantastic business opportunity, located in the heart of postcard-pretty Holmfirth, a brilliant opportunity to utilise both local and tourist trade. Plans are in place to refurbish next year to further support any new publican with driving the business further. The pub occupies a central position along the River Holme and is an attractive stone-built pub right in the heart of the local community. The interior consists of a spacious lounge with a darts area and a separate pool room, all decorated in a traditional aesthetic. The pub also has extra amenities as it boasts five quality letting rooms, a spacious beer garden and a car park. There are plans to develop the site further if in the hands of the right publican, including beer garden development and internal decorations. Stonegate Pub Partners are seeking the right publican to grab hold of this business by the reigns and develop this already successful business further.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Elephant and Castle has a lot of potential, although the pub is trading really well, there is scope to develop further. While Holmfirth is a popular day out for people across Yorkshire and beyond, the Elephant and Castle has established itself as a great regulars' pub. We are looking for an enthusiastic publican who is able to see the potential of this charming pub by extending the food and wet offer, develop a good rhythm of the week and maximise letting rooms income.

Surrounding Area

Elephant and Castle is situated in beautiful Holme Valley that sits on the edge of the South Pennines and the Peak District and is an area of outstanding natural beauty, popular amongst both walkers and cyclists. The series ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ was famously filmed within Holmfirth and avid fans regularly visit the area on day trips to experience a tour of the much-loved tv series. There is a collection of very attractive villages around Holmfirth, such as Wooldale, New Mill, Hepworth and Jackson Bridge, for whom this village is the hub. The location not only encourages footfall from visitors but the local community also.
