Run a Stonegate Pub - Pheasant Worcester, Worcestershire

About the Pub

The Pheasant Inn is a charming pub which is 350 years old, situated on a busy high street in Worcester. The pub is full of character and contains a dark wood, central bar servery, hosting cask ales and international beer brands, which provides for both the main bar at the front and the separate room at the rear for functions and the skittle alley. The traditional beamed front bar is an original part of the site and provides a great place to relax and watch the world go by. The room at the rear has historically held live music, entertainment and used for private functions. Upstairs, there is a further lounge, similar in style to the main room downstairs, with its own bar and rooftop beer terrace. The property also benefits from a galley-style catering kitchen on this floor, with access to a dumb-waiter lift for delivering food to the main trading areas. The Pheasant benefits from an attractive and welcoming rooftop beer terrace to the rear of the property with an external TV screen that is perfect for hosting the summer sporting events. Alongside the rooftop bar hosting space for 16 covers the pub also benefits from a downstairs smoking area with seating for approximately 24 people. The pub has a long extended private living accommodation which consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and toilet, and all in good condition. There is also another area to the rear of the property that has a bedroom and bathroom. Stonegate Pub Partners are now seeking an enthusiastic publican who can continue and grow the pub, keeping it at the heart of the community.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Pheasant is a great pub, full of history and one of the best-known in Worcester. This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic publican to add to what is already a very successful operation, introducing new ideas and taking it to the next level. The distinctive trading areas allow you to have three very different offers, a traditional pub at the front, skittle alley and function room at the back and a beautiful quirky bar on the second floor. The kitchen can be used for handheld food offers or a full menu alike to further drive footfall and the business. With over 20 years’ experience in the hospitality industry, I can support your business in people, operations, sales and marketing and profitability support. I am looking for a publican who is enthusiastic in the local community building on a sports and small food offer and immersing themselves in the local area with teams and community events to be the hub of the area.
