Run a Stonegate Pub - Coach & Horses Durham, County Durham

About the Pub

The Coach and Horses is a well-presented traditional county inn which has a long history which dates back to 1590. The pub is located on a prominent corner plot on the busy A167 just four miles south of the popular tourist destination Durham City and is close to the town of Spennymoor. The current customer base has a varied background, but all are attracted by the all-day carvery offer. The pub boasts two main internal trading areas, the public bar and the dining area. Additionally, there is a large beer garden with plenty of seating, a car park with space for 30 vehicles and a two-bedroom private accommodation. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced caterer with excellent retail standards who can ensure the continued success of this popular food led destination pub. Knowledge of carvery operations would be an advantage.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Coach & Horses is a traditional pub which provides guests with an all-day carvery offer and two delightful trading areas. The main bar is used primarily by the locals who visit for refreshing drinks and the restaurant area attracts a mixture of customers, particularly families who visit for the food offer. I am now looking for an experienced food operator or chef who can develop the traditional carvery offer at this historic coaching inn to grow trade further, maintaining the Coach & Horses reputation as a destination food pub.

Surrounding Area

The Coach & Horses is situated between Durham city centre and Spennymoor on the busy A167 that was once the A1. The pub is prominently positioned on a roundabout with a great roadside presence and is within a short drive of some of the most sought-after areas of the county including Newcastle and Sunderland. Local amenities include primary and secondary schools, Spennymoor Fire Station, Aldi and ASDA supermarkets and the village hall.
