Run a Stonegate Pub - Black Swan Loughborough, Leicestershire

About the Pub

The Black Swan is a delightful village inn situated just outside the centre of the busy market town of Shepshed in North Leicestershire. The pub dates back to the 18th century and retains much of its original charm and character from this period. This is a fantastic business which offers cask ale in its main bar, a cosy snug area, a games room and a function room. Externally there is an enclosed beer garden with 40 covers and an onsite car park. Having predominately traded as a wet led pub the Black Swan has the facilities to offer a simple food menu, as well as quality coffee. Stonegate Pub Partners are now seeking a publican who has the ability to utilise the pubs facilities, create a calendar of events to draw regular custom and introduce a simple pub food offer to develop trade from further afield.
